I have a rare blood disorder.
I can’t remember its name.
It’s a long word beginning with W
and it’s not a cancer.
It’s an indolent disease that has taken nine years
to get to the stage where it needs treatment.
I’m having a bone marrow biopsy on Friday
to determine what needs to be done but it will involve
some chemo.
On top of this I’ve had a bad cold which really
knocked me around.
Cold sores galore. Unable to shave.
Is anyone listening ?
And if that isn’t enough I’ve got a lump
on my forehead, a conical angry lump
that makes me look like a Tod Browning freak.
People stare.
Booked in Tuesday with the skin specialist
to have it removed.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another
I wish you all good health for ’23.
