The sun is shining full on the chair in the front room. Classical music plays softly on the Bose. The house is quiet. Meesha lays quietly beside me as I settle into the chair. I take a few deep breaths and enter fully into my body. I notice my heart beating slightly in my lower right jaw where I’d gotten the implant 48 hours ago, then I move on. My head hurts. I notice my head hurting then move on. I stretch my legs and flex my quad muscles. I roll my head in a slow circle and hear it crack. I lift my shoulders up slightly then let them drop. It feels so good I do it again. I take another deep breath. I lean my head back against the chair and close my head. Meesha sighs. I sigh.
