I find it hard to believe.. My cough has lasted more than 2 weeks.

Initially, it was just ordinary cough; wet cough, dry cough, I had both.

But the past two days, it got worse. Dry cough. But I couldn't breathe after each cough. I gasp for breath. I feel as if my air passage is blocked. At night, it is worse. Cos of that breathlessness, I have a choking feeling and hence, I vomit. I feel sick and breathless all the time.

Today, I went to the doctor. She is a good doctor, based on past experiences. She said it is cos of phlegm that I feel this way. But I told her all my coughs are dry cough. Then she said something that stunned me. The phlegm is not in my throat, it is in my lungs..

Then she gave me an oxygen mask and ask me to breathe into it for 15 minutes. I was stunned. First time using oxygen mask. She explained to me later that that will help clear my air passage and reduce the phlegm.

Now, I do feel less breathless. Less, but not entirely dun have. But throat has phlegm. Disgusting feeling. Hopefully, it means I am on the road to recovery..

This has taught me a lesson. Air is very important to humans. I experienced the horrible feeling of not being able to breathe and let air in. The lesson I learn: Lord, You are the air I breathe. I can't live without You.
