Mr. Snoop's Soft Side Revealed

Warning: Gross Medical Post.  I'm married to a med student.  I have no filter when it come to discussion of snot, pee, vomit, staph infections, etc.  Do not procede if you are squeamish.

This past weekend I came down with a cold which turned me into a snotty mess.

[Side Note: You know you have true friends when they'll eat pizza with you while your nose is a snot volcano.  Thanks for not vomiting, Keely and J].

From February to late April of last year, I had the whopping cough.  True story.  It was an epic saga involving a staph infection in my nose, 3 types of antibiotics, reactive airways, steroids, and traumatizing anyone in my path with my horrendous hacking.  Among other things.  Yes, I was vaccinated.  But you can still get it, there was an outbreak in my area, and I work with kids.  See this article.

[2nd Side Note: Please vaccinate your kids.  That sh*t is for real].

Anyway, ever since my battle with whopping cough, the slightest lung irritation turns into a full-blown, hacking cough.  Here's the flow chart from this time around:

minor cold + profuse snot ----> post-nasal drip ----> hacking cough

Mr. Snoop, being a good student doctor, listened to my lung sounds last night.  There was wheezing, at the sound of which he promptly became a 8.5 months pregnant woman and got all sad and sorry for me.  Apparently wheezing really gets to his hormones. 

Please keep in mind Mr. Snoop was not this way when I was regularly hacking to the point of gasping for air, crying, gagging, and losing bladder control when I had whooping cough.  [Again.  This sh*t is no joke.  Vaccinate your kids].  Mr. Snoop is not really what I'd call the "sensitive" type. 

Whatevs. 

So those of you who know Mr. Snoop in person now have the secret to his soft side: just wheeze a little and he'll melt.  Like butter.

The End.
