I am experiencing the worst cough that I can remember in my 63 years.
It all started last weekend when I woke at 3 am Saturday with much more than just a tickle in my throat, but a choking wheeze and an unrecognizable ability to keep my sleep apnea appliance IN MY MOUTH!
So the cough hit me with brute force, and I have been hacking, off & on, for the past 4-5 days. My support system has guided me and encouraged me and listened to me patiently. And still, my cough persists!
So Im drinking plenty of water and getting ample sleep, as I follow my doctor’s orders by taking my meds and sucking on potent cough drops!
I have cancelled almost all appointments and occasions to visit my friends until I can get a handle on my self and until I feel rested enough to go out of my apartment. I did go out for munch today to Panera Bread and had a BLT and broccoli cheese soup, which felt like the right thing to do. I sat in the restaurant for an extra 2 hours as I listened to the news and waited for my psychiatrist to call me—which he was characteristically late in calling me. But I trust him and KNEW he would call sometime!
I’v got to finish this blog up for now because I want to be on time for my Bible study group…God Bless! Rich
