The Bad Patient - Flash 55 Friday, June 18, 2010


The Bad Patient - Flash 55 Friday, June 18, 2010


My 55 is late,
I’m very sad to say,
But I got myself admitted,
To a hospital yesterday!

I fell the 8th of June,
Graceful I am not,
And developed cellulitis,
I think my foot’s about to rot!

I am here for several days,

Little could be worse –

A patient who’s a nurse!

  1. Great 55, hope your foot and leg are healing now that they are giving you IV antibiotics.
    It is hard to be confined I know but just for a few days follow doctor's orders so that you will be home soon and feeling well. Keeping you in my prayers......:-) Hugs

  4. So what if Nursie is not that graceful.
    She's cute, she's clever, and 55 Faithful!
    You'll soon be healed and feeling dandy.
    In no time at all, you'll be sippin that Brandy.
    Take care Carmen, and get on the mend..
    And as always, have a Kick Ass Week-End.

  5. OH, Carmen, I feel for you. Nurses do make lousy patients, I hope yours give you the very best of care, if not, at least you know who to go to about it. Don't put up with anything other than the best you deserve it. Mend quickly,

  9. What FUN to read this...but not "fun" for where you ARE.

    Hopefully you will not be a nurse-patient (or a PATIENT NURSE?--grin!) for long.

    Very cute, glad I dropped by.
