Incessant Coughing

If you paste the above url you will see to the very left something like my doctor loaned me until Wednesday.

I tried to go to sleep but only coughed once again frustrating me no end because I'm ready to sleep tonight after having a very good day.

My God Daughter who makes over 100,000 dollars a year as a master Somalia was up for a conference so she stayed with us since she flew in on Thursday from Southern California.

My God Daughter is as beautiful and amazing as any Hollywood actress and she took care of me today. No wonder I'm feeling pretty happy about all the care and attention my God daughter has given me today. She will likely turn 30 this summer.

My wife has been pretty terrified I was getting pneumonia from this incessant cough. She was relieved that that isn't the cause.

The actual cause is the breathing tube they shoved down into my windpipe during the operation.

Then they inflate a balloon like device around it so in case I have reflux it doesn't kill me. So, even though reflux theoretically could fill my mouth and sinuses it cannot by any means past the inflated balloon like thing in my windpipe.

The cough is from the irritation of the windpipe walls which means every time I lay down to sleep or take a nap I start coughing and wake not only myself up but also my wife.

He said this irritation could continue for up to two weeks after I was released from the hospital in Mt. Shasta.

What this could mean in real time in real life is within that 2 week period I might only get 10 hours sleep. So, heavy hallucinations from no sleep and 2 weeks with only 10 hours total sleep.
