And they tell you “Take some aspirin and come back in 6 weeks.” (I'm guessing with other precautions as well. “Oh - and don't cough!”) Good luck as you mend.
Yes, I am petrified every time I cough now. But, thank god, I am not having anymore of those violent “wake up at 3AM” coughing fits. And, I can turn on the kitchen/bedroom light and go outside again in the sunlight without my right eye throbbing in pain.
