Coughing sucks

Touring with a cough really sucks. I have had this cough for four days prior to our departure, and I STILL have it. I am *sooooo* tired of cough drops (which I suck on anyway, one per concert half). I have learned to cough during applause and bows, but my sides hurt from the many days of it. I hope it'll be over soon. Instead of "break a leg," everyone wishes me "don't cough!" Oh well. At least my head is clear and I can still play well!
