I Just Coughed Up Blood

[luka]

i'm a bit scared now. i stopped smoking two months ago so there's no excuse. have i got TB? i really hope not. i like writing poetry but thats taking it too far.

any advice?

 

[john eden]

yeah, it's probably nothing, but ring up NHS DIRECT and they will sort you out. 0845 46 47 (yes that is the full number!)

i coughed up blood once and the doctor said i just had a throat infection, nothing serious. so don't get worried.

 

[luka]

ahhh, reassurance, thank you boys, thats balm to my troubled soul! i will phone the numbr, thanks john

see...quitting smoking has made your lungs weak. go get a pack! =P

 

[Grievous Angel]

Probably nothing. How much blood, how fresh?

Do you get a lot of blood-soaked bogies?

 

[luka]

hardly anything. it was a bit of phlegm that popped out and it was all crimson. that was all, no more so far. i get those bloody bogies yeah. what does that mean?

Dry air seems to cause it. Here on the windswept prairies, many people unknowingly walk around with a raging sinus infection at all times. Those that also work in air-conditioned environments suffer the worst, bloody boogie-wise. As your climate is considerably more humid than mine, I'd ask if you work somewhere air-conditioned?

air conditioning is the worse thing for guys with easily fucked up sinuses like me.total nausea.
in the office yesterday it was like a fucking tropical country, even this nigerian lady who is always cold put on a fan .

found looking for threads on blood - this is not a necropost

got covered in lung blood sputum via random clinic mare today, big chunks of copd pneumonia phlegm almost tubey followed by a bad bleed heave, been a while and there was nowhere to move except through it as students unfortunate enough to be rotating today got a real taste of blood

ok with blood death giblets but acute pneumonias showing as lung scans of people who’ve been out sleeping rough for prolonged periods mutilated .. and then the inevitable happens as a cough turns into a coughing fit into full near bleed out and the weird thing is an ambulance was here in less than 10 minutes

favourite work shirt wrecked, check yourself next time you think “nah fuck it, cobalt present from x, it’s time”
