I am the elephant man....

[Sparkler]

I taped this on Monday and am watching it now. That poor man and how amazing is he?

Did anyone watch it? Not for the squeamish. I'm just watching the operation for the tumour removal now. Unbelievable.

I love Body Shock and often watch stuff like this but I watched up to the part where he said he had no teeth to brush as the tumour had pushed them all out and i found it too sad and upsetting to watch and had to turn over. That poor poor soul.

I had to turn off after seeing that poor pig being slaughtered.

Yeah, well, they raised it themselves, billa, so I didn't feel too bad about it.

They didn't lead wasteful lives.

I cried when his mother talked about how he couldn't come out to the fields to work with them as he was unwell.

And how he talked about how he'd stay at home and, because all the other kids were out working, no playmates. And he said, 'I wanted to play. But no one came.'

He seemed much more comfortable after the surgery and hopefully the next procedure will go well.

His family SO loved him.
