Final Post

This is my final post as I am off to the hospital once again for more Chemo and it’s needles to the left, needles to the right, staring into the valley of death dreaming of nurses in white clad uniforms

I am tired,very tired

Tired of hospitals

Tired of doctors

Tired of nurses

Tired of needles

Tired of chemo

Tired of life

I am tired, very tired and that’s it

Enough, let’s get it over with

 

Well in truth it  ain’t all that bad and with luck my blood counts will come back up I be singing

(Fame) I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly (High)
I feel it coming together

Ah, ha,ha all horseshit of course, me and the Grim Reaper are on the best of terms, would I dream of cheating him. Why I even share a drink with him now and again
