A small setback.

[gridlore]

Ever since the surgery I've had a persistent cough. At first we thought it was from the tube they put down my throat during the procedure. But after two weeks, with the cough getting worse, I'm really starting to wonder. Yesterday, at worked, I had a coughing fit so bad it knocked my dentures loose. At home, I took a shower, got out, went to bed, and almost immediately suffered a fit so bad it ending in my vomiting.

The triggers seem to be exertion or going from a warm area to a cooler one. Email into my doctor's office, waiting to hear from him.

Damn. Sounds like cough-variant asthma (which is what I have- going from warm to cold is a bitch, which makes CT winters a bit interesting. Could it have been brought on by the anesthesia?
