Cough cough

[susandennis]

I am getting really weary of this cough. Really. When I'm not coughing, everything is petty good but then I get attacked. It sounds so gross and it's getting in the way of my life. I had to stop swimming twice this morning to cough and then catch my breath. Unacceptable.

I got home and had some toast and coffee and internet and then went back to bed and slept for an hour an a half. At least I can do that without interrupting anything. I'm now vigorously debating with myself whether or not to start those antibiotics. I think I'll put the decision off until tomorrow.

On the bright side, I'm wearing my new patchwork pants today and they are making me smile. So far they are also very comfortable. The seams aren't bothering me at all.

I just read about a new restaurant up the street. I want to give it a try but not today. The air quality is still cruddy and it would be a little stupid to go prancing out in it just because. Maybe tomorrow.

I don't have any place I have to or need to go today and no one needs to hear this hack so I'm going to stay right here.

Sounds like it's time for the antibiotics to me... Unless maybe these are the cough's final death throws...

I'm just afraid it's not something the antibiotics will fix and I will end up taking them (with all the gut upheaval they always cause) for nothing. But if things aren't better tomorrow, then I'm going to do it anyway. I'm very tired of this.

Good plan. Antibiotics when you don't need them are definitely not a good thing...

I'd definitely try the antibiotics.

Are you doing much walking? I seem to recall that you started doing more walking a previous time you had this problem and it seemed to help.

Yes on the antibiotics. Tomorrow. If the cough is still coughing.

The walking outside helped the shortness of breath but today's issue is mostly coughing. Plus, outside is where the air index says people with lunch issues should stay inside.

Honestly, I think it's a little better today AND stagnation is supposed to be gone tomorrow. So... maybe.... fingers crossed.
