I have been coughing daily since before Christmas and it has even made me throw up a few times, with my gut feeling like it was being twisted like a pretzel. I am not sick; it is the cancer in my lungs that is causing the cough. I'm going to pick up some codeine today at Walgreen's, my new pharmacy since Aetna won't cover me anywhere else. I had to pay 57 dollars for 5 antibiotic pills when I got out of the hospital at Walmart.
So, I have hydrocodone for my regular pains and now will have cough syrup that can knock me out, too. I wonder how much of the day I will end up sleeping away now! I slept about 11 hours last night, not continuously, but already feel like I could use a nap. Cancer, it sucks like few other things do. On the plus side, I've lifted some weights for the third day in a row and am getting muscle tone back already. And do I ever need that. I have been absolutely pitiful lately.
