April 3, 2011-Coughing Fits

A lonely bench at the Ilion Marina.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. I did get out to do some shopping and I even took a short ride to Ilion and back. I drove through the Marina. Not a soul around and it looked to desolate but soon it will be bursting with life. The grass will be green and flowers will be up soon. I was hoping to see a duck or something but there wasn't one bird to be seen around there. Not even a critter. I thought that was odd. Then I came back to Mohawk and drove to the top of Putts Hill. Didn't see much of anything up there either except for a few Turkey Hawks off in the distance landing in the corn field. I see more from my windows..Ha!
I thought I was over the coughing but late yesterday afternoon I started having a coughing attack and it was coming from deep in my lungs. The rattling was terrible and by the time I calmed down a bit it felt like my esophagus was raw and maybe bleeding but I didn't spit up any blood, thank heavens. So I guess my lungs are still cleaning out. When I breathe in I don't hear any rattling. But when I breathe out as much as I can it sounds bad. The mucus isn't green so I'm safe there.
This morning the rattle is still there but I haven't coughed yet. I'm afraid to now. Afraid I won't be able to stop. But I am feeling quite good. The sun is shining and it's going to be another nice day. We might get rain tomorrow. April showers bring May flowers they say. And April rains wash all the dirt away. Everything always looks so dirty after winter. But the snow isn't gone yet from here. After this coming week's warmer weather it should be just about gone.
I've got a few CD's of pictures to get together and a DVD for Jessi but otherwise I'm just going to relax today.
Have a nice day everyone.
