Sick Sick Sick

The Covid tests are negative But still, I’m sick sick sick. I sleep away the hours But improvement will not stick. I’ve got my fingers crossed Tomorrow I’ll feel good instead Of spending the whole day curled up, Not moving from my bed.

I know you wrote this poem ages ago. It brought back memories of my mom rubbing Vick's on my chest when I was little, maybe yours too? When I was teaching years ago, my principal wore a shirt occasionally that read: I have an ISSUE with your TISSUE. I hope you not been sick since you wrote this poem..Achoo!!

Hope you will be well soon. I had chills today for a few hours and now I am fine. I have no clue what that was!!!

An ardent hope for your quick recovery! I was stricken by a wicked flu virus the last couple of weeks...it was rough, though not nearly as bad as when I got Covid which I thought would do me in. Good sleep is one of the best medications I do believe! Take care, be well soon...ab

Oh dear, Ilene. If you have lots of congestion, you may have RSV. I have a friend who had it, and then immediately following it tested negative for covid! If you haven't seen a doctor, you probably should!!! Get well quick!
