You and hubby have done really well to pack in the cigs, it is down to choices and you made yours which is great. My dad died with emphysema (when I was 9), he was a miner and worked long long shifts but Capstan did'nt help him either. My sis died with COPD at 60, we told her she'd end up like Dad but she listened when it was too late. Seeing someone fight for their breath and use oxygen tanks is not nice. This cough of yours has gone on tooooooo long Jann, the antibiots should be kicking in to work by now (normally after the 3rd day), I'd be insisting on an emergency appointment to get some different antibiots or treatment, a different lot may kick it into touch much better. Have you considered an air purifier?

Its just an idea, but it may help you. Your sis is lucky..... or is she? Cigs can cause so many other things other than a nasty cough, but, as before its down to choices, and she's chosen to carry on. I feel like writing to the producers of Corrie (Coronation Street) my namesake LOL because they've got it wrong with the Kabin scenes when the cigs are on display, the law is now they have to be behind shutters or a door, its unusual of them to get it wrong! Sending good wishes for you to have a much better night....and if you are no better tomorrow INSIST on that appointment! x
