Yesterday Mary told me that she knew an old woman who broke a rib from coughing. I really didn't need to hear that.

*hack*

Yeah, and she probably breaks a hip every time she sneezes. You're too young for stuff like that, you know.

I broke a hip when I sneezed once! Of course, it was only because I was falling down the stairs at the time.

Perfect! You have the job. ;)

She probably had osteoporosis...I'm sure you won't break any ribs. ;)

Whew, thank goodness. I'm gonna dose up on calcium just to be safe, though. ;)

I had walking pneumonia when I was in college. I was a waitress at this "health food" restaurant and would have to stiffle my hacking until I could get past the cooks line and in the back of the place. It was horrible. And yes... it can happen. My mother has the xrays in a file in the basement to prove it.

Go to the doctor and have them prescribe a cough suppresent stat. Trust me you won't regret it. A little cough syrup with codine. Priceless.

Feel better!

Thanks Z! I think I'll go in and demand drugs tomorrow. Mmmmmmmm, codeine . . .
