t've never had to call the fire brigade
and through mugging, burglary, home invasion, getting beaten up by a stranger and teenage wankers trying to kick my door in, the police have been as much use as a condom machine in the vatican.
the NHS, however, i owe my life to.
without them, i'd still have one eye higher than the other.
without them, i'd still have a faceful of twisted nerves.
without them, i'd have been blind for over 20 years.
without them, i'd likely have drowned.
without them, i'd likely have died from a punctured lung.
without them, my body would still be full of more holes than a swiss cheese.
without them, i'd be minus maybe one sister and definitely one brother and my mother.
say what you like about the police, but the NHS are lifesavers. they've saved mine and made it far better than i could ever have imagined as the sickly and damaged child that i was before they got their hands on me.
length? 23 operations so far, with hopefully only another 3 to go.

Reading this, it makes it all seem worthwhile.
Glad we could help.
(NHS bean-counter, so I doubt I've helped, at all)

back to hospital next week
hopefully to get this cast off my arm and not have a metal plate put in my wrist

I look forward to counting the cost.
A metal plate in the wrist would augment your ability to cuff urchins up the back of the head, so you should definitely get that.

i dread to think
how much my facial surgery's cost over the years, all due to birth defects

Probably best you got it all done
before the GPs got confronted by the exact cost of everything. Everything's going to get much worse, from here on. *axe to grind*

i was told 3 months ago
that i was at the top of the list for my biggest surgery and would be having it done some time in april. as long as it gets done, i don't mind waiting a bit longer.

I had the condom machine concession
in the Vatican.
Did very well.
