Really, that's quite enough coughing. We can stop now.
Last Friday I went to see the doctor and he gave me a scrip for those antibiotics that come on a little card and that if that didn't work I could come back for xrays.
They didn't work. So I have an appointment to see the doc again tomorrow.
When I was little, I had the croup, which is about as sick as I ever remember being as a kid. Always after that I associated deep coughs with that. I remember worrying as a kid anytime I had a full-lung cough. What I have now is coming from the lower lobes of the lungs, which is lower than where croup resides, but the whole-chest-vibrating thing still reminds me of that time as a kid.
Except of course for there being nothing really wrong with me except the cough. Between spasms I feel fine. It's more annoying than incapacitating, really. It's just been going on way too long.
