Dear Mr. Sinus Infection,
I am not sure how to make it clear to you that you are not a welcome visitor. Throughout my life you have shown up on my doorstep as a best friend would. We are not best friends. We are not friends at all. You seem to become more boisterous and messy every time you come to visit. The older I get the less patience I have for you.
You cause me to miss work and fun times. You keep me from getting things done that need my attention. On this stay you kept me from enjoying two snow days.
You make me cranky around my family which means they suffer too. Guess what, they are not your friends either. They do not welcome your presence any more than I do.
Every time you drop in for an unwanted sojourn I have to go see a medical type person and spend money on prescribed medications that I would prefer not to have to take. You wreak havoc on my sleep cycle and this interferes with my husband's sleep. You are rude and unruly. You have no manners whatsoever. You use up all our tissues and a great deal of our Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen.
I am tired of the aches and pains you bring. I do not like the coughing you cause. I do not like the way you make me feel at all. I do not want you around. Please go away and never come back. Do not send your cousins the flu, strep throat, and ear infections to my house either. None of you are welcome here.
Take your germs with you and leave. Please be advised that another visit from you will not be welcome. It is time for you to be gone for good.
Sincerely,
An Unhappy and Unwilling Host
This is my first ever post to Yeah Write! Moonshine Grid
I have chronic sinusitis, so I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteSinus infections are horrible. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThey prescribed a combo of antibiotics and steroids and it seems to be working a lot faster than just antibiotics. Although, I'm still really tired. Thank you, though!
DeleteI am grateful I've never had a sinus infection. From what I understand they can take a long time to clear up.
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky. I've been prone to them since I was a child. Luckily, they don't come as frequently as they did before I got married.
DeleteI get a sinus thing pretty much every year, and it's miserable. So hard to shake off
ReplyDeleteI used to get them several times a year. I don't get them that often anymore, but it seems to take longer to get over them now.
DeleteI hope you feel better! That's the way to make your feelings clear to this unwanted visitor :)
ReplyDeleteAmen. Sinus infections: what a bunch of jerks.
ReplyDeleteYes they are!
DeleteKnock on wood - I have been spared with the sinus trouble for a few years now. However, my son seems to be having permanent trouble with it, so I would agree that sinus infection is an ass!
ReplyDeleteI will knock on wood for you, also. I don't wish this on anyone. I hope your son doesn't suffer too much or too often. Because they are royal asses! :-D
DeleteAw man, I'm sorry! No one deserves that!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree whole heartily!!!
DeleteThat sinus infection doesn't sound like any fun at all. It reminds me of being a kid and wishing I would get sick so I could miss school.
ReplyDeleteI wanted something that didn't really bother me and I got the flu, knocked me on my butt.
Always better to be healthy. Hope you feel better soon.
Hopefully you feel better! Fun letter though. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Thankfully, the meds that I was given worked quickly. I'm almost back to normal. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better : )
