When NyQuil Doesn't Work.

Much to my dismay, February has begun with me having a cold. I blame The Man, he had it first. Then again, his illness started off with a fever and body aches. I have the traditional runny nose, scratchy throat, and coughing. BMO was sick last week and was better quickly so I should stop blaming The Man and put the blame squarely on the kids.  Dear daughter is also home sick today, yes it is definitely the kids' fault!  

Typically when I have a cold I take NyQuil and enjoy a decent night's sleep. This time around NyQuil is not working and neither is DayQuil. It's just coughing, coughing, coughing. Can't work when all I do is cough and sound like death warmed over.  Not what you want to hear when calling a professional office!  

Radiation Fact of the Day: If you should happen to have a cold during radiation treatment, your treatment carries on. Which is my preference anyway. This is my last week of treatment, you bet I'm going to drag my hiney there! 

Today and tonight I'm switching from my old tried and true NyQuil to Tylenol Sinus Severe. Let's hope it works, if not tomorrow I'm going to try a shot of whiskey and a tablespoon of honey. 

At least my abs are getting a nice workout from all this coughing! And the weather isn't great, I suppose if I am to have a cold in 2020 might as well get it over with in February. Summer colds are the worst!
