.... double blah! ....
For the second night in a row, Grump took some codeine cough syrup to try to control his cough, and for the second night in a row he woke up soon after going to sleep with a massive coughing fit, which ended with him vomiting in the toilet.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! His STUPID cough is keeping him from getting a good night's sleep, and his chest and abdomen hurt from the constant coughing.
How bad is it? After getting up this morning, Grump had yet another coughing fit, followed by a bout of dry heaves.
Fortunately, I suppose, he and Sweetie had doctor's appointments scheduled for today, (routine physicals), so he had not planned to go to work.
Dodong seems to be getting over his cold, but when Sweetie's doctor examined her, she was told she has what appears to be a long term infection. Grump doesn't like the sound of that, and wants her to take some medicine, but she is reluctant to do so, since she is still breastfeeding Dodong.
Lola and Kuya are healthy, at the moment; hopefully they'll stay that way.
After our doctor's appointments Sweetie, Lola, Dodong, and Grump went to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. It was very good food, but Grump coughed through the entire meal. He hasn't coughed up a lung yet, but that hasn't stopped him from trying!
Coughing is certainly a stupid body trick! Maybe someday, as we learn more about how the body works, we'll understand how to control allergies, and most of these STUPID coughs will go away?
P.S. - I forgot to mention that Sweetie and Grump both were given two prescriptions each to help combat whatever it is that is ailing them. Also, Old Grump got a shot ...... in his butt! Poor Grump. Hee hee!!
