1.
Notice 03:23
Disgusted feeling, obstructed, roaring internal pain, crumbling shell of a human, cold sweat takes hold of my body, stomach swelling up with nothing, constipated, can barely move, comatose am I dreaming? Bleakest visions, culled from anguish, something horribly wrong in me, unable to fathom that I may die here, I may die in vain. Notice. Anguish.
2.
Diagnosis 03:26
Basking in self pity, pain, and a hospital bed. Morphine stream hard lined in, one drip, one drip... Each one intensifies the nausea, until at capacity, until bursting at the throat. The diagnosis is Diverticulitis.
3.
Schedule 03:15
Exacerbated, drawn out, stuck fragments, causing my demise. When can this all cease? No Expulsion No Dilution No Optimism No Communication One call after another, repetitive trips out. With all the toils of work, constant compressing 24 hour fast, magnesium citrate Bursting out from below Anesthetics take hold.

Laproscopic Bowel Resection Dr. Wasson Grab the scapel Cut him Insert the scope Deep inside Switch the light And push until you see it Searching for a broken vessel Blocked and scarred Rotting entrails No release Cut it out Slice it away Remove the pain It's a delicate game Stitching flesh to flesh Making sure the ends meet Pull the fabric of skin Over the wound Until it stops the bleeding 21 staples later The stomach takes its shape The room is filled with rot From when it was agape
5.
Five Days 04:47
Clinging to comatose, everlasting taste of metal, uncomfortable light erodes, now true horror can unfold, constant vomiting, staples ready to escape, with each convulsion G.I. tube put in, while conscious. No food No water No ice only tears, Pleading for something, anything. Anal expulsion of blood since I've woke, no nightmare here, only harsh reality. Empty of black, sand-like bile, absent of serotonin and a quart of blood. Catheter extracted with great relief. Can finally eat, drink, and live again. Choking. Dying. Becoming one through piercing pain
