It is 7.45am and I have not slept. I should ignore the rest of this moan if I were you, just venting :-)
I am now officially pissed with this cold! Oh yea, turn into yet another chest thing why don't you, fine! But the only tiny problem this time is that there is so much crap in my throat that it is almost impossible to breath. No, really.
I sounded like some horribly ill old guy with some death rattle and was coughing stuff up every couple of minutes. Tried sitting up to sleep, apart from being something I find difficult at the best of times, it didn't help. I did manage about an hour around 5.30am but woke up thinking I was seriously ill, totally blocked up throat. The energy needed to sit up (yes, just sit up) left me gasping for air I couldn't get! WTF!
Fortunately some pathetic coughing and spluttering cleared enough out for me to catch my breath enough to get some cough medicine. Expectorant Linctus, I have never needed your cleansing powers so much.
Anyway, this post has been typed at the end of a couple of hours back on the settee and I am breathing enough to live so back to bed and see if I can actually sleep a bit. Probably dream of being healthy and cruising up hills on my bike (who am I kidding, fitful dreams of being strangled but if I am dreaming at least I am sleeping).
Night night.
