I’ve got an explosive cough as well as a post viral malaise
And I’ve felt very unwell since Friday.
The verb “ explosive” has been chosen with care here,
For I was caught unawares like a lone zebra on the savannah when I ventured to Sainsbury’s for supplies
The coughing fit started in the medicine aisle.
Just before I took a swig of cough suppressant.
The wet farts a mini second later
And my body suddenly became my mother,
An evil entity whose only existence was to embarrass me publicly.
Red faced I galloped for home
The German shook his head when I videoed him the news
“ yu ‘ave passed the point of no return” was all he could say
Well, I hope you're over the worst of it all now. A few days of R&R, snuggled up with the fur babies is my prescription. Time to message a few people to bring supplies and comfort, methinks. Get well soon, and thanks for the update. I know I'm not the only one who was getting worried! xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Here we call wet farts, sharts. Hope you made it home before there was too much damage done to your undershorts. Been there, done that. You're not alone:)
ReplyDeleteSending hugs John.
Oh no! Sharts are THE WORST. I hope your day improves!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I can feel a bout of second hand embarrassment coming on. But you are now at the stage of sounding even worse than you feel. But don't forget - we have all been there, done that, wiped....anything and possibly everything....on the t shirt. Courage, death heart!
ReplyDeleteIt is true, things get worse before they get better.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are still laughing. Plus, the message from the German is so typical: direct to the point and with no embellishment. I am just hoping, you can only get this virus once.
weird comment
DeleteJesus John , welcome to my everyday world

Eeeeeew
DeleteYou have my empathy!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for this misery cough and for the embarrassing episode at Sainsbury. Surely you're not alone with these symptoms.
ReplyDeleteHope a friend in Trelawnyd can take your list for food and cough meds.
I don't know if the UK has Cepistat or not, but my horrid body shaking cough turned to 'eh - hae' in minutes after taking it. What a relief!

Get well hugs, my friend.
I’m sorry that happened to you. Hoping you feel better soon! Cali
ReplyDeleteGet well, John! Take care of yourself! Can you order in groceries there? Might be better than risking a trip to the store. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you test for Flu[s/ A & B] and Covid? There s an all in one home test now, I m sure you know. You often bounce back quickly, so best wishes. I am on week four of Flu A, the cough is exhausting. Maybe store delivers supplies or a neighbor?
