Every month, I gather up the health-related haiku I wrote on Twitter and put it into a blog post. It becomes a “snapshot” of what my health was like. If I’m going to complain about my health, I may as well find a creative way to express it.
My Twenty Sixteen
Starts with stress about money
And loss of support

Extremely relieved
Obama used his veto
Health care protected

Someone there was sick

I still have the flu
Writing political blog
While running fever

Half a Benadryl

Can’t stand it no more
January 16, 2016
No Tamale fest
Woke with sinus and joint pain
Making plans? Pointless!

Acupuncture day!
Been in lots of pain for days
Hoping this will help

One thing at a time
Might be the best plan for me
Slow progress will do

Big bad allergies
