TMI, but I got up very early because of a coughing fit and had to park myself on my Toto throne while I coughed my bladder out for about 20 min and lost my voice.
Then I took Mom to the doctor but on the nurse practitioner was in. NP said that it sounds like I have a viral issue so I didn't need a prescription, but Mom has a sinus infection and upper respiratory infection. Mom sat in the car while I went to the pharmacy to get her prescriptions. I had to write her name and dob down on a card to show them because I tried to speak and they couldn't hear me. I scared some people with my coughing while I was in line. Got the meds, went home and my brother made soup.
So, now I'm sitting here hoping the coughing will clear up. I've tried Dayquil, Mucinex, and Delsym so far. I've been having to suck on cough drops constantly as well. At least I don't have sinus pain and my throat doesn't actually hurt .
I'm gonna drink some water and try to take a nap soon. On the bright side, I've been worse, but this still sucks.
Meanwhile, Fippy is feeling great. He's been running around and he jumps up on my lap when I sit in the living room. Last night when I was feeling really crappy my kitties curled up against me and Captain Fluffy purred into my ear.
