A thank you and poem I read.

Thank you to all who replied, much appreciated.

Day 5 bleeding seems to be lessening, fingers crossed.

Spotted this poem and thought it was kind of sweet.

Sick....by Shel Silverstein

“I cannot go to school today “ 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.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I’ve counted sixteen chickenpox.

And 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 instamatic flu.

I cough and gasp and sneeze and choke,

I’m sure that my left leg is broke-

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

my belly buttons caving in.

My back is wrenched, my ankles sprained,

my ‘pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb,

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbows bent, my spine ain’t straight,

my temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk,I cannot hear,

there is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail and my heart is ....what?

What’s that ? What’s that you say?

You say today is Saturday?

G’bye, I’m going out to play”

Hope you all have a good New year.
