I’ll keep this short ’cause typing hurts my left arm right now. I’ve got a nasty abscess near my elbow (on the fleshy side). How I got it is a bit weird, but it involves my old Ford Escort, a heat rash (summer 2004), a little bump, and recent exacerbation at the Fall Out Boy concert last Wednesday. In any case, I’ve been given some drugs perscribed by a doctor who spent about two minutes looking at the problem. If it’s not better in a couple days, thy’ll cut my arm open and drain it. It may hurt like a frigging something, but I could get a cool scar. And if things go wrong, it’s not like life w/o an arm would be difficult.
Would it?
One day at a time,
one step at a time,
walk a narrow line
till old age grows upon
bones and flesh and spirit
greet the hand of death
walk no more
