My Husband Makes Me Sick

No, that's a trick title. Sort of. I LOVE and ADORE my husband. He's the best thing ever. But he has a cold and bad cough and now I have it too. I didn't have it when I left (and returned) for vacation but now being home two days I have it. The cough is the worst part. It aches in my chest. I don't know if cold medicine does anything for a cough or not. I'm not coughing frequently enough to need cough syrup. Oh well, we always share everything with each other, so he's shared his cold with me. I LOVE HIM!

Luckily I, nor my wife, get sick very often. In fact, hardly ever. But we also take a lot of vitamin C and vitamin D and I think that helps.

My doctor recommended EmergenC to boost my immune system. It has lots of vitamin C and several other vitamins.

Be careful you don't get pneumonia. I had a bad cold two months ago which turned into bronchitis. I still have a cough that won't go away.

Ouch, I had a cold around Thanksgiving it was miserable and the cough lasted well into December. I hope yours is over in a week.

Maybe he needs to practice coughing into his sleeve, that might help some, but with it being winter, you are breathing in the same recycled air for the most part. I am really crazy about constantly wiping down common surfaces, and then spraying a disinfectant on them. But that is just me.

Hope you two get better soon. I'm glad my colds did not escalate to cough or asthma. The chest pain, stomach and back pain is terrible when you cough

That’s it, blame him. I get sick every time I come home after leaving the Ohio Valley (and its accompanying crud). One day I just might not come home, and mail the keys to the house to my niece and say, “It’s all yours.”
