Once the bars come down and the roller coaster car starts moving it's too late to get off the ride until it's over. It started today as I was cleared by my doctor for admission. With every beat of my heart I can hear the chain underneath the car pulling me up this ride's initial incline, clack! clack! clack! instead of the regular ba-dum ba-dum. This morning I signed my consent form, legally releasing the hospital from any liability in the event of the unexpected. Clack! Now I'm doing laundry and packing my overnight bag, my laptop, and some books for what is going to be a four to six week hospital stay. Clack! Clack! Once I get my room assigned to me and the treatment begins the car will be at the top of the hill and the tracks will creak and moan as I prepare to be released for that first long downhill drop. The only thing left for me to do now is throw my arms up in the air and enjoy the ride!
Of course, I'm glad my heartbeat doesn't sound like coconuts!
