I have a headache
I took two ibuprofen and a Tylenol
I choked down some broth
& some tea
I took a shower
I called her
I ask how she FEELS
she says great
& does not sound sarcastic
I'm telling her I feel bad
dizzy, headache, nausea
I think I'm getting sick
does she need me to drive her
or does she think she is able to do it
she was asleep
so I'm like
get up
go to the bathroom
drink some coffee and I'll call you back
I call her back
she went back to sleep
I'm trying to determine if I need to go
the IDEA of walking to her house
SEEMS
nearly impossible
she's like
call me back -- I'm really getting up this time
I call her back
I'm LIKE
do you need me to drive you
I'm LIKE
do you feel better than yesterday
she's like
I don't know
I'm LIKE
when I called you said you felt great
yesterday you said you were a minus ten on a scale with ten being death's door
OH
well then I guess I feel better than yesterday
she's like
come over and read the stuff the doctor gave me
then we'll decide
I'm LIKE
I don't understand
can you not read it
she's like it's
FOUR PAGES
I'm LIKE
I'm telling you I have a headache
I feel nauseated
I'm afraid I might have diarrhea
although I haven't yet
I feel SICK
if you NEED me to come drive you
because you cannot drive yourself
I am willing to do THAT
I am NOT willing to WALK over
which seems like too much
& then read stuff and dither around for you to decide if you NEED help
if you don't need help
I need to go back to bed
she's like
FINE
let me eat something
& call me back
