Cough and Sniff

I have been sick for over a week. It began with a sore throat last Tuesday night. Usually, I can knock out a cold or sinus problems with OTC medications. Not this time. Nope. I had to go the doctor and get some real drugs. Thank God for antibiotics.

One recent evening when I was in the shower, trying to get the steam to open up my nasal passages, I composed this poem.

A Hay Fever Haiku

sick

feverish eyes

multiple mucus invasions

please, God

help

Thanks to the antibiotics and codeine-laced decongestant syrup my primary care physician prescribed, as well as to the heavenly Healer, I am beginning to feel as if I may one day resume my normal activities. Perhaps I'll even post on the blog again sooner than usual.
