I haven't been feeling well and I couldn't sleep last night. So I am up at the crack of 8am to comment.
That really sucks. I like to get up at the crack of noon on my day off which is Tuesday. Like the Crack Emcee I like colored people time you know what I mean?
I have been coughing a lot and have a little shortness of breath. My doctor assures me it is allergies but he is a quack so I am going to a specialist. It feels like I am underwater and I am trying to breath. Plus I have a back ache from straining it with the coughing. Lisa is yelling at me to get better so I have to take care of it.
I wish I was back in the actual water where losing your breath is part of the deal.
Your coronary arteries are clogged, you have pleurisy, pneumonia and congestive heart failure. Get that fixed up and hurry back.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't think you can avoid a commenter meetup just by croaking.
Hey you have to try you know.
ReplyDeleteDon't make me come down there!
ReplyDeleteYou're twenty years too young for this s**t. See the doctor and make whatever changes he tells you to make!
ReplyDeleteYeah I am going to the doctor to straighten this out.
ReplyDeleteI have chronic bronchitis and a deviated septum and allergies but feels a little different.
I don't want to bring you down just keeping it real.
Well that sucks.
ReplyDeleteAt least you don't have the squirts to boot though.
But straining your back from coughing? I knew someone who cracked a rib from coughing. But she was 87 with severe osteoporosis.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a deviated septum, but I paid a rolfer to stick his hand up my nose and do something that hurt like the seven fires of hell fucking with no lube, and it fixed it.
Sixty is right, you are probably physically a mess. Get those pipes routed and get back to being your old cranky self.
ReplyDeleteProbably, Evi?
ReplyDeleteI've put on weight just from reading his "here's what we had for dinner" posts.
I did post this at Lem's as a solution for premature ejaculation...
ReplyDeleteThen again, that could cause erectile disfunction.
ReplyDeleteMine just burrowed back up inside, and I'm pretty sure I heard screaming.
ReplyDeleteEvi, what ails you?
How about a "not safe for viewing by heterosexual males (and homosexual females)" tag?
Troop, maybe you picked up some foreign microbes on board some ship.
ReplyDeleteCould be Swedish flu. I advise staying away from any smorgasbords until you're asymptomatic.

ReplyDeleteWe know where you're buried!

ReplyDeleteYeah, don't take any shit from the doctors. They may know the medicine (if you're lucky) but you know the patient. Make those fuckers come up with a positive diagnosis, and not a "it's probably nothing to worry about".
Barium.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they do with their malpractice cases.
If Lisa says you snore, and you haven't already been tested for sleep apnea, ask about that too and get the testing done soon, while your insurance still works.

I cracked two ribs and tore cartiledge in my small ribs years ago from chronic coughing. Oh that hurt.
Doctors are quacks but when you are sick like this you have to get an opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy coughing got bad the last week because of the pollen situation. The trees are shedding shit and was coughing like Doc Fuckin Holliday.
The more I coughed the more I strained my lower back and now it is fucking killing me. I put a heating pad on it and I am sucking up till tomorrow which is the earliest I can get an appointment.
I went through a bought of coughing too. It was so bad I would almost throw up, hurt my ribs and wake up breathless in the middle of the night coughing. The doctor was no help.
ReplyDeleteI finally got rid of the feather pillows on our bed and....ta dah...no more coughing. As an experiment, I put the pillows back and immediately started the gagging and coughing again. Feathers and dust mites.
Just my personal experience.
Take care.
I coughed when I had pneumonia, that's why I included it on the list of what Troopski has. It's no fun.
ReplyDeleteI am over that, but the TB is kickin' my ass.
Kidding...
Thanks DBQ.
ReplyDeleteWe were wondering if it could be a mold situation. We are going to have the washing machine checked to see that it is all kosher.
Lisa is taking care of me which is a swicharoonie from how it usually goes.
ReplyDeleteI am just sitting around with my feet up.
Of course she is saying what she always says when I don't feel well:
"Get Better. I ain't no Amelia Earhart."
I know it is not TB Sixty.
ReplyDeleteI think it is TF.
Too Fat.
Gah.....bout. Not bought.
ReplyDeleteI also used to regularly get bronchial pneumonia and it was caused by the wet fungal air in the mountainous rainy area we used to live in. Haven't had any recurrences since moving to a higher and drier climate.
Fungal infections of the lung are often confused with bacterial. It can be serious!
Get it checked out. Just sayin'

ReplyDelete.... just begging for it, he is ....
I had bronchitis several times in the '80s - that was no fun either. Got it by riding my bicycle year round in a place that was damp and cold. Moved south, eventually stopped riding, all better.
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just give up smoking meth I would be in much better shape.
The thing is when you start coughing like this you are just helpless. I can't do what I normally do. Shop for groceries. Cook. Clean up the shop.
ReplyDeleteI am just sitting in my room throwing knives against wall.

ReplyDeleteYeah, but then you'd have to start sleeping and stop working on Star Trek scripts.

ReplyDeleteThen you need to get your hands on some crank and some Molly and go full Hunter S. Thompson. You know any Samoan lawyers?

ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh.
Until Troop gets over his cough his career as a dentist is over.
Dentist? I thought he was a proctologist!
ReplyDeleteTurn your head and coff.
ReplyDeleteTurn your head and coff.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Dude.
ReplyDeleteYou gonna hafta, I dunno, do yoga or something. Go vegan. Stop smoking. Or drinking. Carousing. Whatever it is.
I went to the doctor
And the doctor said, "Sir,
We got back the x-rays.
Everything's a blur!
It's all positive
That's what every single test shows"
I went to the doctor
And the doctor said, "Kid,
It was something that you ate or drank
Or something that you did
And it's all in your head
But it's spreadin' on down to your toes"
Don't fret, Nurse Inga is on the way. Don't do a Gandolfini on us, buddy.
ReplyDeleteEvi, there is no cure for heterosexuality, but you're getting close.
ReplyDeleteI had a bad cough but cured it by drinking more whiskey.
ReplyDeleteTry it.

ReplyDeleteThis thread and the one previous (Poor Lem) bring to mind the scene in The Hobbit where the dwarves arrive at Bilbo's house to do their thing, pausing for a brief but solemn moment of melancholy harmony before pushing off on the next adventure.
ReplyDeleteThis version, sung to "Shots" also works: Dwarves Invade Bilbo Baggin's House and Start Rapping
Dwarfs are cool.
ReplyDeleteRc, I prefer whiskey or cognac for coughs as well. Worst case scenario is drinking until either I don't care about coughing or pass out.

ReplyDeleteHot buttered rum (or brandy) for coughing.
ReplyDeleteIn a mug put a good 1 to 1 1/2 oz rum, a small dab of butter, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, optional a slice of lemon (I always put that in if I have it). Pour in boiling water and stir until butter is melted and cinnamon is distributed.
Smell the aroma of the rum, lemon, spices. Sip and let the soothing butter coat your throat.
Have a friend available to help you off of the couch if you have more than a couple of these as the hot alcohol will hit you like a ton of bricks and you won't give a shit if you have a cold anymore.
Do they still sell paregoric? Man, that stuff stopped coughing and the squirts, pronto. When we all got sick[4 kids] and needed it the pharmacists would let my mom sign twice and just post date it. Times have changed. I know dudes that would put it on cannabis. It smelled horribly when burned.
ReplyDeleteSixty diagnosed him correctly via this blog!!
ReplyDeleteHope you come back soon Trooper.
ReplyDeleteWe need you in good health to watch the Red Sox win everything. So you can have another one ;)
Seriously, I hope you get better soon.
