Waiting for doc
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I got cancer
waiting for doc
I found my daughter
waiting for doc
I hugged my children
waiting for doc
I won bets
waiting for doc
I drank a pint
waiting for doc
I met a psychic
waiting for doc
I ignored my phone
waiting for doc
I had a needle
waiting for doc
I stopped eating
waiting for doc
I turned yellow
waiting for doc
I drank medicine
waiting for doc
I scratched my rash
waiting for doc
I puked up my medicine
waiting for doc
I shat blood
waiting for doc
I learnt how to put socks on right
waiting for doc
I spoke to ambulance drivers
waiting for doc
I lost my interest in them
waiting for doc
I went to hospital
waiting for doc
I met nurses
waiting for doc
I used a bedpan
waiting for doc
I fell in love
waiting for doc
I died quietly
waiting for doc
