teratoma
ah
witch-knot of flesh and hair and teeth
inflamed with furious spite
biting down on my ovaries, spitting bile
into my inside body
-
finally extracted
skinlump aggravator where have you gone
i wanted to take you home,
my child
my stem cell marvel
appendix:
that grumbling man of medicine
also removed from me
better absent

Damn that's a lot of shit to manage in one go. I hope you have a speedy healing, and all path reports come back intensely boring.
I told my mom last week that half the time doctors don't know what's wrong or how to fix it, so they just want us to shut up about it. Because ya know, we all just dream up pain for shits and tickles.

on some reflection and lots of zapain, I think I can do away with the moan about doctors in the middle. im still irritated at the general attitude of some of the doctors i was seen by but I think that’s conveyed fine by “grumbling man of medicine”.
