It's been a slow road to recovery. Breathing is no longer an issue, but that weird mucus refuses to go away completely. Sometimes I'll wake up and feel it all over my pipes, not really blocking anything but swaying with the passing air, creating enough of a physical sensation that I could probably draw a rough sketch of my air pipes just from the image that creates.
It's weird!
Finally used some chest rub and man that's already doing a lot of good. Easing my very tired chest (due to all the coughing), and helping clear my pipes. Plan to use this a lot.
Getting the sleep I need but in spurts because I have to get up to pee a lot due to all the water I've been drinking. I cannot wait for this to finally pass and I can get back to my projects. At least I can still work.
Also avoiding dairy like the plague. Eating a single triple cheeseburger undid so much progress, I cannot even begin to describe.
