A couple days after getting to the camp, I started to get a little cough. It wasn’t too bad, and I assumed it would go away pretty quickly. It didn’t. We go to Moscow and I still had it. I thought it was starting to get better over the weekend, but I was wrong. It’s usually not to bad during the day, but at night, I wake up a few times and have a fun coughing session.

So, today, I figured I would use my current situation to my advantage. Since I’m currently working in a medical clinic, I spoke with one of the english speaking doctor’s who quickly checked my lungs and throat. The throat was a little red, but not bad, and my lungs are fine. So, I went to the pharmacy next door and got more than I expected. All I was really wanting was some vitamin c, but I ended up with some syrup I take 3x a day, a pill I take every night before I go to sleep, and then some vitamin c. Awesome.

I’m hoping the cough will mostly go away before my plane flight on Sunday. Nothing would be worse for my fellow passengers on an 8hr flight than me hacking up a storm next to them.
