...'fun' trying to shake this, but 'just a post-viral cough' per, so just rest & OTC - what OTC is good for just a wracking cough ? cough drops & nyquil aren't suppressing a thing :(

what a weird ride it's been since I the PD Rsrv training began back in late April & the 1st medical visit in 33yrs back in May...
But FINALLY that will-I/won't-I game is done and I can soon start volunteering, patrolling and serving my community

allllright, ( finally ! ) got the approval from the Dr & cardiologist for PD Rsrv duty ... pick up & drop off the Dr's signed approval after work, then the next leg of this journey begins
