dragonlady7I fuckin' hate chest congestion. *HACK HACK COUGH*
this is up really high. Higher even than my tonsils, which aren't swollen. I feel like, just at the top of my throat, it's clamped partially shut. If I open my mouth like a twit and extend my head upward a tad, I can breathe ok. It's not like I'm really lacking oxygen, but I'm definitely gasping like a fish every now and then, and my heart rate is elevated.
The thing is, other than that I don't feel that ill. I keep coughing to try and clear my throat but it's not working. *HURK HACK HACK*
I've had about two gallons of water today. (Exaggeration. I've had three Tahou's mugs, however. That _is_ a lot, and I'm not sure how much a Tahou's mug is except maybe it's around 40 oz.) *COUGH*
I even tried Buckley's cough syrup, which is billed as pretty much the vilest substance on the planet, but highly effective at treating coughs. It actually felt like my throat was burning when i swallowed it. And yes, the pain disappeared entirely. However, my throat is still mostly closed.
Blechh. *HACK*
I hate being ill, because it's all I can focus on. I don't feel ill, though. Dave's working on something important-- he accidentally deleted a very important file at work, that he hadn't backed up. So he's working on it now. So, I made him a number of small appetizers, and then dinner, and put them down in dribs and drabs on the plate next to him so that he could just pick them up and eat them without interrupting his work. ("You're the best," he said. Yay! I get to be the best!) Now I wanted to organize my 10-GB mp3 collection. But I just can't get comfortable. I feel like I'm strangling. It's very distracting.
HACK HACK COUGH ughh. It's a dry cough, too, so I can't even feel like I'm getting anywhere. Coughing doesn't relieve it. Bleck. Ugh. Yeck. Augh.
Right, enough.
