Just my luck, any doctors around?

Post by bigbuds »

Hi Guys.

So as ive posted already Im off to AD on wednesday, been looking forward to it all year. A month ago my brother got flu/bad cough and I somehow escaped it. Then 2 weeks ago my best mate got the same thing, and again I managed to avoid the disease. Then a week ago my girlfriend got it and it turned into bronchitus. I should have known it couldnt last, and alas, my luck ran out. Ive been coughing for 2 days now and I cant stop, got the tickliest chest ever and have been waking up sweating but cold, my head hurts everytime I cough and Im generally a wreck.

Luckily managed to get an emergency appointment at the docs today and I explained the situation and he gave me some antibiotics, so hopefully itll shift it before we fly out.

Its just typical, my luck/timing is so wack, this could have happened at any other time of the year and i wouldnt have given a monkeys. But no, just before I go on a massive SMOKING sesh, my LUNGS decide to get infected.

Oh yea, Im working tomorrow, saturday, monday and tuesday, and I cant afford to take any days off as Im skint already due to the trip, and need a big wage next month.

The worst thing is I got sum nice bud at the minute, and I cant stop smoking it, even with the cough. In a strange way the first one of the day actually soothes the cough, and tis good for the pain, but Im sure Id have a better shot of getting well if I stopped, but I just cant!


Any advice on developing some self control in the next hour (cos ill be gagging for another then) or on getting well and helping to speed up my recovery would be greatly appreciated.

Had to share, I feel sorry for myself :(

cook with it

There are tons of easy recipe's around or give it to your gf and tell her to hide it and not tell you where it is until your cough is gone. You know you'll be pissed with yourself if you mess yourself up even more before hitting the dam.

yes tea with lots of fresh pressed citrons, and a lot of honey. that always brings me back to my feet when i have a cold/flu/...i drink it against nearly everything cause i don´t want to take any medicine, maks you addicted, and when youre old you need to take the 5x amount of those to see any effect, so i safe mine for when i´m older and really need it :D
wwooh......4:20 again on my watch....

maybe just smoke with an ice bong.

this may be the worse idea ever :lol: , but in theory the ice chilled smoke should be less irritating on the throat. maybe.

Also is this the right place for this thread? Im not sure of the best place for it, and when i was posting last night i was so out of it i didnt even think.

thanks for the advice guys, cooking seems a good option, but honey, i cant stand it im afraid.

A bowl of boiling water, add some Vick, towel over the head and spend 5 minutes breathing in lung-fulls of moist hot vapour. NOT through your nose, through your mouth.
I promise you, you will bring up so much shity brown and black stuff, just heave it into the bowl.
Do this whenever your breathing gets tight, or your coughing gets bad.
