ER Haikus
January 31, 2009Random hospital inspired haiku...
Trip to the ER,
An IV bag of fluids.
Twelve hours later...
Blue hopital gown,
I think it ties in the back,
I feel a cold draft.
Appendicitis.
It's hard to fit in Haiku.
Take that sucker out.
Early morning update: I was going to write this entire update in haiku but I'm tired. It's 1:16 am here and we've been home about an hour. Everyone's in bed and the house is quiet (save for my laptop, which is playing a mix of Third Day and OneRepublic) and I'm trying to get some work done. I took Cassie to the ER because of stomach problems and dehydration. They did the dreaded IV bag O' fluids, an ultrasound and a ct scan. They told us that no problems showed up on the ultrasound/ct, but that there could be organs in there just waiting to explode so if Cassie felt the same tomorrow (which is now today) we should come back.
I KID YOU NOT. We should come back to the ER. At that point I was going to say we would just camp out because the odds of not coming back after a set-up like that were nil, but we left.
Bag o' fluids sir?
The nurse asked, needle in hand.
No thanks, I'm driving.

Well, at least you've reached Silver Elite status on the frequent-patient plan, so you get the complimentary chocolate-chip cookies on arrival. And a Bag O' Fluids.
