The flu crud has reached our house. I was the last to take it on. I know I will feel better soon but I just want to sleep through the day and night.
Tight breathing
Heavy weight sitting on my chest
Headache that pounds
A voice that is rough and low and scratchy
Coughing that keeps me from sleep
Life on hold
Until meds kick in
And restful sleep comes.
"Life on hold
ReplyDeleteUntil meds kick in" - can't believe you found the energy to keep on posting! Feel better soon!!
Life on hold. I hope that you don't have circumstances that make that impossible and that you can truly rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to read you aren't well and I love how you captured it in short phrases. All things in life should be short except rest right now.
