Let's add the hiccups too!

So, I have "non-contagious bronchitis". I didn't believe the doctor at first, but as the week has gone on and this cough has just progressively gotten worse, I'm starting to think they were right!

Here's the problem.

• One prescription that I'm on makes you extremely nauseous, even if you take it with food.
• Then they gave me cough syrup at night that is supposed to knock you out... NOPE. Doesn't work. 

So, anytime that I try to speak more than 2 sentences or raise my voice, I cough up a lung. Literally. Like if lungs were able to be coughed out of your body, I think I would be without lungs!

So tonight, Rachel and I were studying out in our living room and she was being so patient with me and dealing with my extreme coughing. It wouldn't stop! Then I got the hiccups, so the night went something like this: "cough cough cough *breathe* cough hiccup cough cough cough" (30 seconds of silence) REPEAT for multiple hours!

It sucks. I don't feel sick, but my stomach hurts from repeatedly coughing and my throat is sore. Plus every time I cough it feels like my body is being jerked all over the place.

So yeah! It's just GREAT! Moral of the story -- just when you think you can't make any more noise from your body, you get the hiccups added on top!
