“It isn’t the cough that carries you off, it’s the coffin they carry you off in” so says the quaint old saying, but right at this moment I would like to argue that the cough should have a little more acknowledgement in the ditty.
Not that my current ailment is really that serious, but it is the constant nagging wheeze and occasional uncontrollable hacking cough that is wearing me down. Fortunately, way beyond time, I took some very wise advice and visited the doctor a couple of weeks ago. Although the cough has changed from a deep chesty hack, it still isn’t defeated.
With nights of broken sleep, not to mention days of coughing and spluttering my way around the office, I’m feeling a bit depleted energy-wise. Being unable to physically chant is also making a huge difference, the life-energy that long and loud chanting brings is being sadly missed.
So I apologise to the folks who follow TSFE if I have been a little less provocative, incisive, educational or thought provoking of late. I have another appointment with Dr Paine (how apt) on Monday evening, so I’m hoping she will have some magic potion for me, that will clear this up once and for all.
In the meantime, your kind thoughts and chanting is very gratefully received.
Namaste
