The Weekend from Hell By Paul Wilson Friday seemed like any other day Nothing special to talk about Had supper at the regular time Watched Gold Rush without a doubt Things got worse about nine PM Took your temp it was 101.3 Grabbed the Tylenol…gave you two Fever broke about three All day Saturday your stomach erupted like a volcano Panic set in ready to head to the emergency room You were in denial…said it would pass My thoughts were more like doom and gloom Not much sleep Saturday night That volcano still erupting non stop Our weekend becoming a nightmare Hoping it would stop Sunday much the same Volcano slowed down some Got a little sleep that night My mind was totally numb Monday morning finally here Doctor appointment at ten Made it in plenty of time Was not allowed in Sign on door said call this number If you’ve had any symptoms of Covid-19 We called… doctor came out did a swab Test was negative thought I’d scream Doctor said it was the flu Took you home you slept rest of the day Meds were given just like doctor said By Wednesday you were okay So glad this weekend from hell Is finally over for us Thank you God For taking care of us Copy Right 12/23/2020 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Bless you, Paul. Wishing you a 'peaceful" and merry Christmas: For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. |

Michael...So glad to hear from you. Thanks for taking time to read and reply. Thought I would write this little story about the past weekend. I was so worried that my wife had gotten covid-19 and with her health issues I was really scared. I think i got about 5 hours sleep the whole weekend. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hew Year. May God bring you serenity and peace in this time of uncertainty...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Paul, can't even imagine the anxiety you went through. A beautiful poem arose out of it though. And this "doctor" dog pucky that's going around like it's own disease . . . that's pitiful and I'll bet doctors/insurance is eating it up! Be healthy, my friend, hug each other and be thankful that everything turned out okay. Heart beats to both of you . . . jimmy |

James...Thank you sir for your positive words I am so thankful that all turned out well. Many stories like mine has not turned out well for others and I feel sadness for them. A friend of my youngest son is fighting for his life in ICU right now his father passed away last week from the covid virus and others in his family have it also, because they chose to celebrate Thanksgiving together with family and friends. Thios is such a sad situation that didn't have to happen...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
