Today I woke up coughing, but breathing rather well. So far today I've only needed 1 puff from the inhaler. I took some more chest decongestant and tylenol. I've been keeping a spittoon in my room because I've been coughing up so much mucus. I estimate about a quart of mucus coughed up in the last 3 days. Today I noticed little specks of blood. I've been coughing like crazy for almost a week so something must have torn or something. It's just a little bit though so not enough for concern.

I just had some dinner. It didn't stay down though. I made a couple small burgers and less than 5 minutes later they came right up. It was pretty dry and held together well so some of it might not have even made it to the stomach. I haven't done any vomiting before this so I'm not entirely certain why I am now. One guess is my body needs water rather than food. xd Over the last week I've had a burger, some ice cream, some coffee, and other things I probably shouldn't have eaten, but it didn't bother me. Now that I fired up dinner I'm feeling alright again. I have ice water to keep me hydrated. I've been down to less than 2 quarts of water a day so I'm dehydrating again.
