Coughing and Coughing

Ugh!!! I hate this part of the cold. More than a week into it, and the congestion in my chest is finally beginning to break up, but with fever and coughing-coughing-coughing. Tight and just beginning to be productive. Ewwwww. Very little sleep last night, had to sit up to prevent the coughing from blowing the blood vessels in my head (and to allow poor Jeremiah to get some rest)!! No voice (my kids LOVE this part) and a headache from the mind blowing hacking.

Heh. I've become a hacker in my 40's. Of the sickest sort. Hehe.

My aunt (who works at the local hospital and so usually has an inside scoop on all the waves of disease that hit this area) says that this bug is typically a three-weeker. Double ugh.

I have discovered one interesting/helpful bit of information. A teaspoon of honey has relieved the urge to cough more than the strongest cough syrup I've tried. Go figure.

Here's to hoping no one else gets this icky stuff!!!
