Influenza Haikus
Inspired by my 72 hours of hell (aka, all of my weekend):
Oh I hate you flu
Aches, fevers, chills and coughing
Tylenol won’t help
Cytokines do suck
Interferon is the worst
Man I feel shitty
Couldn’t even sleep
Nyquil barely worked, lasted
only an hour
I got a flu shot
So maybe it was para-
influenza. Hmm.
Took so much Advil
Hope my kidneys are not shot
(I’m a worrier)
Felt better today
Could stand up without weakness
Happy ambulation!
