LIFE HAS IT IN FOR ME =(

Safe to say life isn't being kind to me right now. I've been stuck with this cough for a week now, not getting much sleep because I keep coughing myself awake, so I had a friend get me some cough syrup in the hope of getting some much needed sleep. Decided I'd take it at bedtime, so I went to finish things up downstairs before going to bed, went to

Oh sweetie... I know that feeling. So very well. *gentle hugs* I wish there was more I could do to help. I know when I had a similar experience, sleeping upright helped with the pain, but my doctor had to prescribe an inhaler to help me get some sleep. Is that something that might be possible for you?

I have no idea. The doctor's is closed over the weekend and it's doubtful I could get an appointment before the end of next week anyway. I have painkillers now, which are helping a bit, so that's a start. If the cough would go away I could probably manage, maybe even get some sleep. I was coughing, groanimg, yelping and making weird noises all night trying NOT to cough, and I have a high tolerance for pain. It's just, coughing every few minutes kept aggravating it. Thank god for good books, reading helped the night pass even though it went slowly.

Thank you *hugs one armed*

Thank you, I hope so too. I can handle the cough or the strained ribs, but not both and the lack of sleep on top of it.

When it rains it pours! I'm sorry your cough is so bad, and keeping you from the rest you need. Everything gets so much worse on no sleep! I wish I could send Owen--he'd know what to do to make you feel better. Even if he insulted you the whole time he was doing it. :-p

*Gentle hugs*

Thank you, I'd take Owen's sarcastic comments if he could fix me. This is seriously not fun. *hugs back feebly*

You've had a lot of bad stuff to deal with and that will wear you down. Hope you sister has some good stuff for you. Sending you hugs and pixy dust so you can sleep.

Oh, sleep would be nice! I haven't slept more than 5 hours a night, in bits and pieces, since the damned cough started and I was already short on sleep before that.

I have painkillers, so that's a start. Still got a lot to do before I can go to bed though.

Thank you.

oh my dear J! life is not being fair with you lately ... but you are like our Ianto, facing problems and succeeding at doing it.
Have faith that painkillers will work and your cough will disappear soon, I know it is easier saying but unfortunately it is the only thing I can do from across the ocean so I am sending extra large hugs and beautiful and healing thoughts your way.
hugs

THank you, M *hugs*

The painkillers are helping a bit, so that's a start. Still got a lot to get done today before I can think of sleep though.
