One to put over my mouth when I cough, one to hold my ribs, which hurt when I cough, and the extra one to hold the top of my head which feels as if it's going to fly off when I cough.
So, I think the easiest for an assistant to help with would be the head.
Shin pads might be advisable, because the speed and gay abandon with which I cross my legs when I cough could carry considerable risk of injury!
Oh dear Phoenix - I do sympathise with you, having been through the exact same scenario myself just a few weeks ago. Fortunately I was eventually prescribed the right antibiotics and in combination with the steroids they did the job. I do hope you're soon feeling better and are able to keep out of hospital.
The best bit about having such a rotten cough is that I had to have a Covid test before my G.P. would see me, so when it came back negative I immediately popped round to see my mother in law ('twas before this current lockdown and we have both been shielding) and I gave her a huge hug for the first time since February.
Sending Get Well wishes to you phoenix , it’s just awful when you have a cough that rattles your bones and leaves you gasping for breath. Hoping that what the GP sends you today will give some much needed swift relief ??
Puzzler61, I really thought it was just my COPD playing up due to weather conditions etc, would seem that this damn infection has been in place since October!
