sickness continues.

i'm still sick, and my husband is still sick. he's even managed to get worse, after seeming to get better. he actually got so bad that he went to a doctor and got a prescription for antibiotics. this is i think the second time he has been to the doctor in the entire time we have known each other. the other time was three years ago.

i myself now have two! count 'em, two! inhalers. doctor says it looks like my chest cold has all cleared up (lovely) but i now have "reactive airways syndrome" which is where the lung tissue - all the bronchials and alveoli or whatever - hasn't recovered, and gets triggered into spasms of coughing by any old thing at all, or even nothing. i've probably got some of the details wrong, but i think that's a close enough description. my hip still hurts when i cough, but i'm getting better at ignoring the pain when it isn't extreme.

but what i wouldn't give right now for a good night's sleep! i gave up this morning at six and started knitting slippers which have already turned out to be too big. sigh.
