Failing Health

my mind loses focus
my heart functions like a man's heart should at this age
chemo causes me to be without community
chemo cause me to be anemic and fatigued
chemo causes low platelet count
eyes have lens implants but still cannot see
teeth, dark from coffee, grow weaker
muscles begin to lose their strength
bones begin to aches under stress
arthritis lingers in joints and lower back
bowel movements are regular no more
sleep habits are altered
urination is more frequent
body sensitive to cold and heat
loss of hearing, smell, and taste
physical labor is much less
endurance lessens
and the mind struggles with
the currents of positive thoughts.
