Being Sick

Darla Cooke on Jun 27, 2009

This is how I felt last year when I almost came down with pneumonia.

Image via Wikipedia

I’m burning up with a fever,

my temperature is 104 degrees.

My throat is raw and sore,

I’m starting to feel nauseous.

I’m having some dizzy spells,

feeling lightheaded and weak.

My energy is decreasing,

I can barely stand up now.

I’l be spending many hours in bed,

perspiring beneath the covers.

This is going to be a long night.
