Contagion!

By Terry Marotta

I was sick for two weeks before it occurred to me to seek

treatment.

The coughing was unbelievable. It got so I didn’t have a friend in the whole six-state area.

Plus, it hurt.

The day I coughed my lungs up I finally knew I needed to be seen.

coughin' my brains out

I went in to Urgent Care and the first thing they did was slap this mask on me.

I look like some sad sort of ‘Adopt Me!’ Dog don’t I though? And the mask doesn’t go at all with my whimsical ivory boa.

I thought this was bad.

Until…

Until…

Until …to take a chest X-ray they gave me a different mask and made me wear this:

A johnny! (And it wasn’t even this year’s model)!
