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.
