BLOCKAGES.<br />
<br />
Since I’ve had an ostomy.<br />
Many things occur to me.<br />
I take each problem as they come.<br />
Then try my best to solve each one.<br />
<br />
A blockage is the kind of thing.<br />
That my ostomy might bring.<br />
It’s hard to know what causes it.<br />
The ostomy or lumps of ** it.<br />
<br />
As I like to keep control.<br />
I put my finger in the hole.<br />
And as my finger moves about.<br />
I know my stoma inside out.<br />
<br />
I had this pain and I was yelling.<br />
For I found a fair sized swelling.<br />
That was the blockage just inside.<br />
So I pushed it to one side.<br />
<br />
Then to keep it nice and snug.<br />
I used my normal osto-plug.<br />
Although these efforts are futile.<br />
At least the pain went for a while.<br />
<br />
But we all know that chronic pain.<br />
Simply comes right back again.<br />
Now I know what is involved.<br />
I know the problem is not solved.<br />
<br />
But when the pain is monumental.<br />
Doing nothing’s detrimental.<br />
But long before the surgeon acts.<br />
I want to weigh up all the facts.<br />
<br />
The lump that’s there and causes strife.<br />
Eventually will need the knife.<br />
But in those times when pain is gone.<br />
I feel that I should soldier on.<br />
