I was sick for two weeks before it occurred to me to seek
treatment.
The coughing was unbelievable. It got so I didn’t have a friend in the whole six-state area.
Plus, it hurt.
The day I coughed my lungs up I finally knew I needed to be seen.
I went in to Urgent Care and the first thing they did was slap this mask on me.
I look like some sad sort of ‘Adopt Me!’ Dog don’t I though? And the mask doesn’t go at all with my whimsical ivory boa.
I thought this was bad.
Until…
Until…
Until …to take a chest X-ray they gave me a different mask and made me wear this:
A johnny! (And it wasn’t even this year’s model)!
Looks like more than your lungs popped out. What is that shape at top center?
Oh yes! I failed to mention: stomach, a nice matched pair of kidneys, intestines..
As Mother Rabbit said to Peter “Poor thing Poor thing” and poured him some camomile tea!
Mother Rabbit yeah! That’s all we’re asking for most of the time isn’t it though Becky? Some solicitous clucking-over is all we crave ….
Feel better, Terry. I had it too, for a while, and I’m still not done with coughing (though it’s not anywhere near bad enough to inspire me to don one of those chic hospital gowns).
Thanks Carol. The costume change was actually fun!
Even with the masks, Ter, you look just like your baby picture!
maybe people DON’T change. I like thinking this. It makes me feel that my grandfather gone so long and knowing me only with my little-kid tummy and my black tangle of curls might also know me today if he stopped back in on us here
I give thanks every time I am sick and see a doctor, every time I have to put on one of those johnnys. I could have been born in a century before the 20th, or in some less fortunate parts of the world today.
You are right to observe this Chris. I felt instantly better. You feel instantly better when someone offeres to make you his or her problem don’t you? Even for only w while
hope you are all better!!! you still look great in the pics.. and with the mask. :0)
ha ha thanks Nicole. The mask makes me look BETTER than I normally look. It was fun
Hope you’re all better now buddy! The baffled ‘Johnny Face’ is classic.
I’n not all better Tim but am having a nice wallow in it
