3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Missus also developed a hacking cough last night, which caused her to bring her supper back up, but whilst she has awoken with it apparently gone, mine continues to rumble on and make me fed up. I have found that an ibuprofen/paracetamol combo effectively surpresses it, but I want to save "doping" myself for client sessions, and other times adopt a "better out than in" policy. With my lungs always taking 6-8 weeks to recover from an infection, it could be March before I'm feeling fine : /

Still, it is after all only a cough, and something I'm quite capable of living with. I am slightly saddened that this is my third infection in a year. I had a bad cough last spring, contracted Norovirus in December and now have another cough to begin the new year with. I can feel sorry for myself or get on with it, so I will of course be doing the latter! Bottom line is, if this is the worst thing happening in my life right now, I'm doing OK!
