I'm still sick. Woo hoo. I'm just brimming with enthusiasm aren't I? Yeah. I've been coughing so much, and I swear I sound like a seal begging for a fish. The OTC cough meds just weren't cutting it. I've barely slept the last couple of nights, due to uncontrollable coughing fits. I called my doctor first thing this morning to get some prescription cough syrup. What a relief. I took my first dose a couple of hours ago, and like magic my cough is gone. I'm hoping that being able to get some good sleep will help me to finally kick this cold to the curb.
The one good thing is that I haven't run a fever this round, at all. I just worry about getting congestion in my lungs, since I had pneumonia a few years ago. That coupled with my history of severe bronchitis as a child, and battling asthsma for several years keeps me on my toes, even with a common cold. I apparently have the respiratory system of a gnat. See me not care if I have to buy $30 presciption cough syrup. :P
Starting to feel wonderfully drowsy. I think I may take a nap. *hugs f-list*
