2017 Portland: We cough together.
I worry. He coughs. I sort of sleep getting up every two some hours. He coughs and gets up every few minutes. We try everything to send sleep his way. One night he sat in Grandpa Gunthorp’s chair in the bedroom, and put his head on the bed. He slept better that night than any other night. I wake and pretend to sleep. He doesn’t want any suggestions.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
- Himself: Friday he worked half a day. Today he worked the whole day. He at well.
- Myself: Up very late. He thinks sleep is healing. Read blogs. Started Laundry, Found one hairdresser open who cut my hair really, really short, picked up cleaning, and grocery shopped.

- Reading: New to me author: Matthew Quirk, “The Night Agent.” I was almost put off reading it by the prologue.
- Gratitude’s: Laundry done, dishes done, dinner done.

Do you have the RSV virus? I am just now getting over the worst of it since coming down with it on January 21. The coughing is the horrible part of it and I had to sleep sitting up(did a number on my neck) The cough still lingers and may for up to 6-8 weeks from onset. Did not leave my house till February 13 . It's harder on us older people I was told. And, of course, antibiotics do not work for viruses.

No, but something similar.

Possibly he needs a chest X-ray ( just to make sure he does not have pneumonia. He needs to be drinking a lot of fluids . A vaporizer might help .
That is a very nice picture of the two of you .

Were you at the Pittock mansion when that photo was taken?
MageB gattaca ⋅ February 19, 2019
No we were at the river across from the closed paper plants.

You were in Gresham then, across the Columbia from Camas. If the mills were still operating, you would’ve been downwind of some rather unpleasant odors. 👃

What Jinn said. A vaporizer might relieve his symptoms and allow more restful sleep.

I know...but he won't take suggestions.

That's a good photo of you two together. I'm sorry to hear you are coughing so much that it's difficult to sleep.

We are getting better at it. He can't sleep at all, I'm sleeping pretty well.
