(Hacking Cough) + (Stress Incontinence) = NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!!

UGH

I caught whatever cough/cold DD had last week. I don't feel great, but it's bearable, except for the deep cough every 5-10 minutes, during which I have to stop, cross my legs, and tense up.

HaHa!
Been there, done that. I had a cold and cough last week that left me in the same situation. I never had to cross my legs when I coughed until I had children. Before I had children I also used to be able to go on any rides at the exhibition that I wanted to, without getting dizzy and feeling like I was going to be sick. Now I can hardly ride on a swing.

Oh Sue, that sounds perfectly awful -- and rather mortifying! Thank goodness it's Friday. I hope you can rest and feel better over the weekend.

Been there done that for the past week - worst cold on record! I thought I was the only one that had that problem when coughing. I've been thru a box of pantyliners with this one! HA HA (or was that too much information????)

Oh, Sue! ROFL!!

Trust me, I am laughing *with* you, not *at* you. Anymore, I use Kotex more for coughing-related problems than I do for their original purpose!!

I feel for you, I truly do. Hope you kick this cough soon and feel better quickly.
