It all began Wednesday
with a tiny sore throat.
Then it progressed on Thursday
to bogies and chills that demanded a coat.
Friday was the norm
naps to kick this cold!
Until Dad kissed my temple, "You're warm!"
he exclaimed as he went to make a call.
And so began our journey
to the Northwestern ER.
Needless to say I was angry.
I don't need to be here!
After much waiting
and cons from my parents to avoid my flight,
the doctors began their poking and prodding.
I sighed, but tomorrow was supposed to be a double delight.
Hours ensued,
and good news arose.
My fever came unglued!
A doctor announced, "You can go home tonight" - it sounded like prose!
We avoided inpatient
but my plans were dashed.
Despite my impatience
I came home and I crashed.
Pills, pills, pills
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Are the happenings of my weekend - thrills!
Let's hope on the chemo schedule we keep.
