cough

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 07:53pm on 03/07/2012
I remember now, last time I had a cough that went on for ages they said it wasn't unusual (just unpleasant) for a cough to last 6 weeks and I had to wait it out. Same this time. I should be glad I'm not prone to chest infections. The earache is less but the hearing is still poor, I'm unwittingly doing rude things like talking over other people as I can't hear that they're saying anything (sorry!), I need to start looking round the group before I speak. Inhalations over a steam bath should allegedly help. Excuse me while I go boil my head at you. And July! Why get a cold in July??

Also, looking forward to getting back to exercise without feeling wobbly or falling over coughing.

Everyone in the pub on Sunday was moaning about having/having recently had the flu. It seems to be going round.

The four of us in the pod at work are all going through various stages of it.

I'm unwittingly doing rude things like talking over other people as I can't hear that they're saying anything (sorry!)

I do that all the time as my hearing is quite bad on one side. I just straight out say at the start of meetings (be they formal ones or a gathering of friends) that my hearing is rubbish at the moment, so if I talk over someone, tell me to shut up! that tactic works especially if you find a humourous way of doing it.

People talking while covering their mouth drives me up the wall. Or last week in a hospital someone said something to me and then marched down a corridor (as I followed), talking all the way. I had to stop and say "I can't hear if you don't look at me, or if you are talking while walking away".

And at a private view a friend who KNOWS about my hearing issues tried to talk to me with her mouth full. This is gross anyway (IMO) but I had to say "please, I can wait until you've finished. I can't lip read you if you talk while you're eating". Same with hearing someone who is talking with mouth full, actually! Just chew, swallow, then talk! Gah!

Anyway, what I meant to say was that I really do share your frustration.

I wish you better!

The nurse did that a bit, started talking to my face then got up and paced the room, but said "Whoops! Of course" when I reminded her I was here about my hearing and I couldn't hear her properly like that :-) Easy to forget, I am learning now how annoying it is for those affected.

Boo to colds. Not good at all in July. Or, come to think of it, at other times. Feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon. I'm still coughing quite a bit which I think is tail-end of cold and can't be blamed on hayfever. Though I actually went to the gym on Monday...

Brian and I are both suffering sore throat and cough - despite twice-a-day antihistamines. So we sympathise. Take care.

Is it July? I thought the needle had got stuck on April and is endlessly looping the track. Someone needs to give it a gentle tap to get it going again.
