Wanted: One new set of lungs!
I'm nearing the end of week 2 of this bronchitis (or broncho-pneumonia as the doctor called it), and I'm getting REALLY tired of this pesky cough. It keeps me up at night (sometimes even when I take the special narcotics-laced syrup), it hurts my abdominal muscles (the abs workout isn't even an incentive anymore), and is makes me irritable.
I was supposed to go out tonight... some kind of rare teacher networking event. Colleague of mine convinced me to come along, claiming that last year there were quite a few cute single guys in attendance. Unfortunately, I'm not there having fun right now, and instead I'm in bed with a low-grade fever and the cough from hell. >.<
I just don't know what to do about it anymore, and it's really frustrating me. The last time I had such a vicious cough, I ended up with broken ribs and the cough lingered for months. Seriously... I'm going to cry if that happens again!
I've never smoked. Not even a single cigarette! I've had asthma my entire life... I knew better! My parents don't smoke, nor do any of my friends. Why on earth are my lungs so stupid and annoying? Why can't I just get a regular cold like most people, and be done with it? Grrr... I want new lungs! New lungs that come with an anti-coughing mechanism. Actually... I need to learn magic (or become a wizard) and learn a coughing curing potion. Or maybe a spell or charm would be more effective? Bah... I just want to stop coughing!
Today was Remembrance Day, and we had a special ceremony at school. It was beautiful... but I felt awful... just AWFUL! when I started coughing during the 2 minutes of silence. Bah!
