The Wait

When someone you love is sick, you wait.

You wait for them to get better. You wait with them in the emergency room.

You wait in the room with them for the doctors and nurses to ask question after question.

You wait for the meds to kick in

You wait in the “Surgical Waiting Room”

You wait in the car

You wait to sleep

You wait to shower

You wait to eat well again

You wait to see your child because a hospital waiting room is for no place for kids.

You wait for the “she's out of surgery” notification on your phone to pop up.

You wait for the robot assisted surgery to be finished.

You wait for the all clear and the discharge.

You wait for them to heal and feel better

You wait because you are a partner.

You wait.
