oh

cannot, this is an infection, the face has swollen and the throat is sore,
cannot get up, this is a cold or influenza.

Could get up, but would then be ill, aching and unwell.
Listen to the son get up to go to school
The son and the wife arguing about
who cares what they are argue about

Rest as the air drawn into the lungs awakens a cough,
blinding dizzying and painful.
and then just rest.

Later, write to work
Later, ring up the doctor

later is better
