Tonsil Haikus


Courtesy of my mother: 
Throat hurts. Ice Meds Sleep.
Mom buys cherry popcicles
Dad brings bigger drugs.

Tonsils out. Eyes too.
Screen saver glow turns off.
Drug induced sleep heals.

Daughter's tonsils out!
watching sleep in blue chair now
to wake with drugs soon

Ziplocked ice bags in
support hose stockings around
tonsils swelling less :)

Rough morning barf bowl
Not party recovery
Dream beyond tonsils

Tonsils connected
or unconnected to the
ear nerve. Ouch. scream all!  

Distraction wonders
brother sister-in-law friends
still feels bad but smiles

But wait, a fever?
blanket so cozy comes off?
Chihuahua's sad face. 

Day six post op sigh
Everyday a new challenge
My daughter still heals 

A first! She eats soup!
and stays awake longer than
commercial to next!

There she goes again
hands clutched around water glass.
Doze. Spill. No notice.

Trip to the doctor
Crazy Lady scolding us
Come to find out "Fine"

Not a medical,
Spanish Teacher sees no blood.
Bauch! What's that red stuff?

Every three hours
up to give oxycodone
I remember this.

Asleep and no pain
Awake loopy seeks pillow
Ouch needs ice. please.thanks.

Back to school mom goes
Little cups of red drugs filled
Self loaded slept lots.

Brother home to help
Mom and dad off to work soon
Jello, Ice fight. Fun 
 

Spencers:

Sitting with Kacy
Hm, should I write a haiku?
I think I Just did...
