#have i ever had surgery ?

I’ve had a few of these.

i was three or four when i first had one

(keep on following – it’ll soon make sense)

a tiny little tube draining fluid from my head to my heart

of course – i was out of it the whole time

i managed quite well – despite the knock on effects

co-ordination needed help, as did the balance

and the addition of cerebral palsy to the mix led to physios and splints

while the Ankylosing spondylitis was a little thing noted at the end

i was having a whale of a time – till the concussion

and another trip through the CT Scanner

trip to the theatre – to change the plumbing

pressures observed and new plumbing from head to tum

obvious knock on effects – led to a rejig of the way i do things

didn’t stop me getting my HND Though.
