Zenkitty- prescription cough syrup has codeine. it is almost magical in its ability to actually supress coughing for hours at a time.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
codeine
Oh, of course, I forgot about codeine! (Really, I did.) I don't seem to respond well to opiates. The last time I took an opiate (for pain - hydrocodone), it made me feel really headachey and floaty and weird, and didn't really help much. If the coughing gets worse, though, I'll give it a try. Maybe I metabolize it better now than I did back then (I'm healthier overall now, so that might make a difference.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You don't necessarily need codeine for a bad cough; if you see a doctor, ask for Tessalon Pearls. They are amazing. They have wiped out every bad cough I had (except for the one that led to pleurisy; that cough needed codeine, for some reason).
Tessalon Pearls are not codeine- or opiate-based at all, so you shouldn't have any weird opiate reaction to them.

If I end up going to the doctor, I'll mention my bad reaction to opiates and see if I can try the Tessalon. Thanks, Steph.
It is at least a productive cough. (Gross.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of illness, my 13-year-old nephew has just been admitted to the hospital with viral meningitis. Apparently it's much better to have than bacterial meningitis, but get-well-soon-ma would still be very much welcomed.

Oh no Scrappy, much ~ma to your nephew and his family. I hope he recovers quickly.

Indeed. That's not fun. Poor noodle.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So much ~ma for Scrappy's nephew, and some for Zenkitty.
Need some safe-driving~ma for Daniel - there is snow coming down fast, and at a bad angle for someone driving south - I was terrified, slowed down to 20-25mph in a 55 zone. He's got a much longer drive in the same direction, and I have no idea if or when he started.
