Cough Cough Hack Hack

Oct 26, 2009 09:44

So this morning when I was getting ready for school I heard a knock at the door. Unusual. Go down and find my next door neighbor outside, and upon me opening up the door she immediately greeted me with "So you were coughing all night. You should get that looked at, it is flu season after all." Whoops. Apparently the walls in my complex are a ( Read more... )

So who's bed were you sleeping in? ;)

But seriously, feel better! Cough drops are your friend, as is osha root extract. Tastes absolutely foul, but works wonders on respiratory things.

Get well soon. Maybe you should keep sleeping in whoever's bed, your coughing's obviously not bothering him (her?)!

JEEZUZ, glad she gave you a chance to open the door!

One complains the next morning about loud parties.
One Inquiries, IN HONEST CONCERN, about the health of one's neighbor. One does not drop unsubtle snippy hints.

Does she think you love to stay awake all night coughing for fun? Grr.

Ok, rant over. Peppermint tea, and seriously, slug down the liquids--I think if I had stayed on the liquids steadily through Thursday night and Friday morning, I would have done a bit better. Good for the lungs and throat. Robbitusin DM. Bag 'o cough drops in the purse or backpack. DayQuil caplets.

Your mom and I get on so well--I don't even talk to her: I just channel her directly!

heh, yes. One maybe even inquires if they can help with chicken soup or picking something up while at the store. I suspect the snippy is along the same lines as being annoyed by the loud party--'dang kids keeping me up all night.'

I'm also sort of curious how she knows you haven't had it looked at. Since, in my experience, a doctor visit seldom makes coughs magically vanish.

Take care and follow all those recommendations for fluids.

She actually wasn't too bitchy about it, I think she honestly thought I should go get it looked at if it was going all night.
Also mom's usual remedy is sleep. Really sucked when I was too sick to go to school since she figured that if I was too sick to go to school I was too sick to watch tv, read, see friends...basically do anything other than sleep and eat. Hence me occasionally pretending that I'm not really all that sick, honestly, I swear :)
