Guess writing while brain is fighting bug is not one of my best ideas
Just reviewed the end to yesterday's post
And was not happy with how I left you hanging
So here's what happened when I ...
Called internist, learned he could not see me till Monday
Called ENT doc, learned he could not see me till Monday
No solution in sight to on-going problem
Darkened my mind and left me in need of venting ... Unhappily!
Solid example of the needs of others conflicting with my own
Awoke today, head aching, even more congested, bereft of energy, again
Thoughts of lying low, feeling as limp as a lox
Losing this round in my bout with the bug
For three more days utterly dispiriting
Good thing I've learned to move with the times and
As Monday feels months away
'Enough is enough!' came into play
Chose to take action
Made appts for Monday AND
Googled Urgent Care
No surprise that a half hour later, during exam
Congestion turns up here there everywhere ...
Most especially in ...
One ear cloudy
One lung lightly wheezy
The key word being lightly ...
And that's the up side of not waiting passively till Monday
Had I not felt irritated enough to take action, today
Who knows how complicated ear and lung problem may have become
Up side number two?
No one was waiting when I walked into urgent care
Waiting room filled with red nosed sneezers when I left
Glad I took Fate into my hands and thanked Lady Luck
Went home with Inhaler and antibiotic prescribed
Shivering ...
Slipped into plaid flannel p.j. s
Reserved for times just like this
Slept another day away
Just awoke with two hopes
One, that tomorrow will find me
Out of bed ... on my way
And two, that you are feeling better than me
As for right now, imagine me
With small smile on pale face
Tissues and O.J. In hand
Glad to have considered my needs seriously
Looking forward ... Positively :)
