A to Z Writing Challenge - D for Dread

Dread 

I have autism

With executive functioning problems

Going to the Drs

Is hard work for my brain

There are all the germs

And all the procedures.

Because we are currently homeless

In another town

This time my visit

Is to a new Dr

With new procedures

And to top it off

There is the virus

Get procedures wrong

And you get fined

Or die!

Oh and I am taking

My two sons

One with OCD

And I have shortness of breath

Due to asthma

So no pressure!

I arrive with dread

Holding my breath

As I walk through the door

Masked

To save them from me.

I was met with smiles

Kind words

Accomodations

The nurse was a ninja

With the flushots

Chatting quietly

The Dr -who is Doc Martin-

Was relaxed and careful

Renewing my lost scripts

I put in a special

Unknown place

During the move.

I made it to the chemist

With minutes to spare

Before closing.

Had help

Following their new rules

And came out triumphant

With new asthma treatment.

I feel like I have sat an exam

And passed

And if we don't get the virus or flu

It will be an A!
