I think I actually got at least three hours' uninterrupted sleep last night. After I got to bed, the first couple of hours kept getting interrupted by coughing jags. But...more progress, by the time the alarm clock started playing the last five minutes' worth of an Ideas re-run on CBC Radio. This is good.

Of course, I've obligated myself to return to work at the day-job this morning, regardless of how last night turned out. So, we'll see if I can get back to work routine today.

You may already know this, but just in case: because of my SOGP's situation, he was having a terrible cough for all of November and December. I finally took him to his family doctor, and she prescribed a teeny tiny morsel of morphine: 2.5 mg every four hours. It is amazing. It has shut down the coughing almost completely, especially the wracking ones that nearly turn into retching.

This may not be an option for you, but you can't turn it down if you don't know about it.

I've had those kinds of coughing fits, and twice last week they went that far.

It's gotten better since then, but I'm making a note of this. Cough syrup don't seem to cut it.
