...said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
I've counted sixteen chicken pox.
There's one more, that's seventeen!
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,
it might be instamic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke.
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in.
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb...
...I have a hangnail, and my hair is - What?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is...Saturday?
G'bye. I'm going out to play!"
Well Rich played hookie today... but not because of senior-itis. Because he's definitely got the flu.
Dr. Zentz, God love him, didn't get his flu shot this year and has been surrounded by sick children at the clinic recently. His trouble began with a head-ache last night, but is now a full blown combination of head-aches, dry coughing, high fever, chills, and body aches. He feels terrible and his symptoms will probably last about 5 days.
There's nothing he can do now but wait it out. Our day has consisted of lots of hand washing, water drinking and chicken soup eating. I received my flu shot in the fall and should be mostly immune. Either way, please say a prayer for Rich to heal quickly and ask that the sugar-mama and baby-mama in this family won't contract any crazy bugs or fevers.

I think Rich is going to be embarrassed when he reads this...I know I would be. -J
