I've been making my own croup tents since I was 10.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

Yeah, Andi, how's the cough today? Have you had a chance to call/see your NP?

The amount of coughing is entirely tolerable when upright. To successfully lie down and sleep I need Sudafed, either 12 hour or as 4hr Actifed, a Mucinex DM, at least one square of dark dark chocolate 85-90%, and a slug or two of whisky. But it works, I slept reasonably well last night.

Our wings are not tired.
You should try to sleep upright if at all possible. Knocking yourself out when having breathing issues can be a whole other level of problem. Please be careful.

I can't sleep upright enough to stop the cough. I have a number of pillows on my bed to elevate my head, but that just is not high enough to stop the cough.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've had success sleeping upright on the couch if I cram enough pillows under my calves that my hips are basically at a 45% angle. It's like fetal position but sitting up.
I did it first after foot surgery to elevate my feet and have done it since with lung issues. Best wishes.

I have done similar, Trudy.

Fuck. I've been in a lot of pain lately, so mostly working from home. Went to the office today, and now I'm literally crying from the pain. That almost never happens. I don't have pain meds besides Advil and Tylenol. I called my doctor for them a week ago, and called again on Friday, but they haven't called back. I can work from home tomorrow, but I do have a lot to do, and I'm really fighting through the pain just to make words work.

I've also done the cram pillows under my legs thing that Trudy suggested.
ION, the drive on my 9 y.o iPod is starting to make a clicking noise when I turn it on or connect it to my laptop. This is ominous, and I'm probably going to need to start looking for a backup, dammit. I don't want an iPod Touch! I just want an iPod that has a lot of storage space and only plays music, is that too much to ask?
