Carol Perkins: Coughing Your Head Off

Previous Column: Hamming It Up

By Carol Perkins

"You're gonna cough your head off," I declared as Guy shook the house with his deep cough.

For over a week, he had hacked like a freight train, even after a bottle of powerful cough syrup. In the middle of the night, when the cough medicine had worn off, he rocked the bed with his cough. When he declared that he had slept all night and was happy he hadn't coughed, I couldn't believe he didn't wake up through such barking, like a child with the croup. I didn't sleep all night, for sure.

At the end of the third week, he complained of a stiff neck. From the stiff neck, he went into an unbearable pain running up the back of his head. He refused to go to ER until the next morning when he said, "I've got to have some relief." Off we headed to Bowling Green.
