Memories of hospital and surgery

“I had four operations. The first was putting plates in my knees and putting cow bone into my foot, those sorts of things really. The second was putting wire into my foot, or taking the wire out, no taking the wire out. So I had wire put in my foot, and taken out, and the third one was having my tendons stretched from my hip to my foot. I’ve got a big scar at the back of my leg, that was quite sore, but yeah I got that over and done with.And then the fourth one was just taking the plates they put in the first time out.”

“They scare me, hospital brings back bad memories. ‘Cos I think hospitals, pain; doctors, operations, doctors, pain. So basically they hurt me because that’s what it’s been like with my surgery, being in pain after and being very worried and things. It’s physical pain but it’s mental pain, memories of me being in pain, like the mental pain, me getting needles, or being in pain. I remember when I was younger I used to get these Botox injections in my leg when I was awake and I can still feel the pain, I can feel the pain from this day of the needle going in, like tattooed on my brain.”
