Last Thursday till the weekend was the most terrible time for me in 2026. Never have I thought that a silly cough can kill me. Apparently, it can - according to my China boss, because lungs are vital for all of us.
Well, it started with a cough, then migrated to the flu (not Covid, not Influenza), then back to the cough. Two family clinics, two 24/7 clinics and another visit to the same family clinic concluded that I was coughing due to an allergy. After swallowing so many antibiotics and cough syrup/pills, the last doctor concluded that I was coughing as I was having so much mucus buildup at my nose area, it overflowed to my throat! A simple nose spray and some allergic pills solved the problem!
That being said, I am still coughing, but not so serious anymore. However, any vigorous moves seems to trigger my cough and it looks like I can't be doing any strenuous exercises for the time being.
Funny enough, the 24/7 doctor, so handsome, definitely my type of guy, just couldn't diagnose my exact reason for coughing. I took so many antibiotics and cough pills that I spend two whole days, completely knocked out. Still missing that doctor though, I have not met anyone SO MY TYPE. FML I suspect he is gay.
Life is so funny, when I was all zoned out - I had the biggest self-reflection of my life. All these medicine perform miraculous changes to my brain! Everything! From deciding to quit my job, to migrating back to China, to migrating back to China again for my retirement... everything! Tears flowed down my cheeks unexpectedly for five minutes, and then the next five minutes, I would be laughing at some social media memes. Oh dear, the power of medicine!
