My speech was all out of sequence, my catch phrase for it was ‘mad gab’ I kept saying balderdash like apples to apples my brain was a scrabble! Also I was hearing things in my cranium, it caused so much aggravation Likewise, I couldn’t remember my computer password of Ants in the Pants At one time household chores were a trivial pursuit My kitchen used to be perfection, now it looked like the Dutch blitz! I kept dropping spoons, I’d hear them go ker plunk on the floor and was all of a boggle when I put my ticket to ride in the mousetrap I was so concerned I went to see my physician Close to tears I took the monopoly of the box of tissues on his desk I’d googled my symptoms so I did have a clue of the possible diagnosis He referred me straight to the hospital A scan revealed a tiny brain tumor, they were lucky to spot it Guess who was in trouble! Cancer was a taboo subject so we had code names for the tumor, The doctor said I should adopt the 5 second rule if I needed to speak out The surgeon said I needed what could possibly be life changing surgery He would implement phase 10 as it was a very tricky operation There was some risk as he needed to connect four wires in my brain Thankfully the complicated surgery was a success and I’m back to perfection!
