Cough attacks

Hi Leah!
Like others have said, when I'm with friends or family I just cough away. But at work, when I felt that "tickle" (that feeling in your chest you get when you know a spasm is onward & upward!) coming on I try to get to the restroom as soon as possible or step outside to cough instead of coughing in the room I'm in with other employees. God Bless, Kevin <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I usually hold up one finger ("wait a minute"). Try to gather myself together and relax my throat and lungs... try! Once I am done I smile, and say "Excuse me, while I choke on my own spit". I have gotten quite a few chuckles. When I am on the phone I will hand it to my son and he tells them I will call them back or he talks to them while I cough. (Hubby just hangs up on me and then calls me back in about 5 minutes). If it is appropriate I try to excuse myself some group social settings when I get a cough attack-- that way they can keep talking and I don't disrupt them.

i take a sip out of my baby's bottle if i have one. i usually just give a little smile and point my finger to 'one minute'. most people just wait, or are concerned for me. but occasionally i'll get a moron. like the other day in bloomingdales' a sales girl was helping me with a dress and i began a spasm. she started laughing-i tell you, hysterically-at me, standing right in front of my face. and says to the other sales lady...sarah, you gotta come over here, she's soooo red!
now regardless of whether or not she knew me or what i have, i if i saw a stranger doing this in front of me, esp if i worked at bloomingdales and wanted a sale, i'd ask if they were ok and worry.
