Japan '09 - Misc Part 2

I developed this cough before we left California last month. My allergies got worse and it became a cold. I was a bit nervous at the Narita airport while we were filling out those paperwork regarding the Swine Flu, afraid that I'll break out into a coughing fit and end up being quarantined.

Well, it hasn't gone away. In fact, for some reason it got worse yesterday. After dinner last night, we dropped by Livin because Reggie and Manami ordered some drapes and rug and they got me a bottle of cough syrup with codeine. Let's get high!!


A while back I read this article on line about some home remedies and one of them was rubbing Vicks vaporub ointment on the soles of the feet, put on socks before going to sleep to get rid of whooping cough and such. So guess what, Manami has a small bottle of Vicks and I had Donna do it to my feet. Lo and behold I slept mostly through the night and didn't cough again till I woke up this morning.

If I can get rid of it by Thursday, I'll be ok. I don't want to get quarantined in Taipei and we're spending Friday night there. Yikes - I'll cross my fingers. I'll have to wait till we get home for Karaoke I guess.

Today, Reggie's friend picked up their sofa. They've started cleaning the apartment a bit. Donna is helping them pack their shoes right now.
