The thermometer says 102.4. Cold and windy. Got a child that has the same temperature. And another one at home already on medication. Apparently one parent stay home to take care of the recovering one. So you start driving. You are feeling the chills, dizzy, cough and runny nose. It is a classic case of flu. Your prescription hasn’t arrived yet. But your kid got the same symptoms. Well leave the rest to God and you drive to the doctor’s office. Long wait. Gets confirmation on flu for the child.
Drive to pharmacy. Your stomach rumbles. But oh well, got to pick up the medicine. Pharmacy wait time is another 40 minutes. Get the medicine. Come home. The recovering one had thrown up and dad’s time went on cleaning and change her. No lunch ready. Fortunately your friends have given rasam. Rice??? Start the cooker. 30 mnts. Wash the sheets, change the sheets. Kids hungry. You hungry. You are sick. Kids are sick. That moment…God just terrible.
That too passed, last week. Looking back is not going to help…but, Wow! life’s flip side is not so much fun.
