If you don't feel like you are swallowing glass shards then I'm afraid I can't pity you at the moment. But I do hope you feel better soon :(

No, the glass shards receded sometime last night, sorry. Still hurts, but not that much.

It's the cough that's knocked me down today. Wouldn't be so bad if there was actually something coming up with it.

[Hugs] and well-thoughts to you.

Damn, why am I stuck swallowing crockery? If it was a matter of a cough then I'd probably still go to winter weekend tomorrow. It's this barely getting any sleep because I tense up every time I have to swallow that's killing me :(. *rant rant*

*sigh*
*hugs* Thanks, returning well-thoughts
I just wish this was happening next week instead of this :(

This is the sort of cough that leaves you clinging to a wall for support while your head spins. It's triggered by any sudden movement or change in altitude. I've spent most of today lying still in bed for a reason :-(

I hope you manage to miss that step, given how rough your throat is.

Damn. Yeah, I hope I miss that one.
I'm currently getting an occassional cough that mostly seems to be reacting to phlegm or tickles in my throat. It's a pretty pathetic sounding one generally as I can generally control it otherwise it would be ripping the heck off my throat and probably leave me either writhing on the floor or trying to force some part of my body to bend unnaturally to counteract the pain.

On the other hand I do still have over 60 codeine tablets :). It's nice knowing I have some big (well...medium) sized guns in the cupboard. Even if what I want right now is something like morphine.
