Cough *hack* *hack* *HARRK* cough

[minkydog]

God forgive me, I'm just sick to death of hearing DH cough. And I know full well how that makes me look. The sound of this cough is just grating on my last nerve. I can't help it and there is no one in real life that I can say that to.

Poor guy, he can't help it. I've treated him with comfort foods, hot tea, prescription cough meds, and his regular inhalers and prednisone. His pulmonologist and infectious disease doctors have tried to figure out what's going on, but DH just sounds worse and worse. At this point, DH is waking us both at night with all the coughing. Thankfully, he doesn't have a fever and his oxygen levels are good so it's not really an emergency, just an aggravation.

Thursday he goes in for a bronchoscopy, and I cannot wait! This will be the 2nd bronch this year. (He had one in Nov, right before he went into full-blown pneumonia and was sick all winter long.) I'm hoping that they will be able to figure out what's going on in his lungs so we can start treating it properly and we can all get some sleep!

Oh Minky, I hope they come up with a solution soon.
When my DH is sick, I KNOW he can't help it but it still annoys the crap out of me and I KNOW that is not fair but when my nerves have had enough there is not much I can do about that either. Can you move to another room?

I came down with a nasty hacking cough 2 weeks ago. I quickly moved to the guest room so as to not keep DH awake and now he is pouting because I'm not there for him to poke, tell to roll over, stop snoring etc. I swear, I can't win, but this time he is on his own, I want to cough, hack and snore to my hearts content without his interference and until this stupid cough is gone, I'm staying in the guest room - the dog doesn't seem to care if I cough and snore
