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!
