Ode to Mucinex D, a poorly written limerick by a woman on medicine

There once was a woman who was sick,

She'd cough and the mucus was thick,

Her teeth were a poundin',

Complaints were aboundin',

She just wanted to get better quick.

But she laid around for days like a slug,

In the chair, on the couch, then the rug,

Just snortin and snottin,

And feeling quite rotten,

And praying for just the right drug.

Day 5 came and finally with it,

A pill that was a big hit.

The pill was expensive,

She was apprehensive,

But in hours she was able to sit.

As the day wore on, it was crazy,

The woman no longer felt lazy.

She was able to walk,

To sit and to talk,

And everything wasn't as hazy.

So if you yourself are a sicky,

Don't waste your time being picky.

Go to Wal-Mart today,

And be prepared to pay,

A bunch so you quit feeling icky.

OK, so that's a lame way to say that I think I am officially on the upswing. I've never had such a sinus infection in my life--- where every step you take makes your teeth pound and where your eye feels like it's pulsating with every beat of your heart, where you can't even close your teeth together.

Billski assured me this would work because I just about fell out when I saw the receipt for a box of Mucinex - almost 25 bucks. However, I was tired of holding a hot water bottle on the side of my face, so I was willing to give it a try. After just ONE tablet -- which was the largest pill I've ever seen in my life -- I started feeling better. Sure it may be that 4 days of antibiotics kicked in at the exact same time, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, today at noon, I felt as bad as I've ever felt in my life. And tonight, if Christmas were tomorrow, I'm ready for it!
