If you haven’t seen the standup comedy bit where Chris Rock extolls the virtues of Robitussin, you should do so. (I think you can get it on iTunes). Ever since I had the cough (which has been the better part of a month plus a few days), Gene has used Dr. Chris’s medical advice and kept telling me to take my ‘Tussin. Nagging me. ‘Tussin, ‘Tussin, ‘Tussin!<\/p>\n
First, I didn’t want to take any freaking ‘Tussin because I hate cough syrup (and NyQuil). Then I finally took some for an entire week before our trip. Didn’t work. An entire week of ‘Tussin, nothing doing. So I took the medical advice of Dr. Old Boss and tried Claritin=D, figuring that it was post nasal drip. No good again. Real live Dr. Dreamboat prescibed the Lustrous Prednisone and it didn’t work.<\/p>\n
Sob!<\/p>\n
A few hours ago, in desperation, I took another shot of ‘Tussin. What’s the worst that could happen? (Drug interaction causing a heart attack, but hey, who’s counting?) Well, I coughed twice. And then nothing since.<\/p>\n
Bless you, Dr. Chris. It’s 5th (?) day of Hanukah miracle for the ‘Laine-ster. I think Chris Rock should set up a charity called “Donate Money to Buy ‘Tussin for Poor Ghetto Kids” because I know I’d PayPal him some money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
