Thanks Shawn. And sigh…the wide dissemination of false/incomplete information…Why is it that the stuff that isn’t true has an easier time making its rounds than the stuff that is true? Or am I just being a pessimist? 😉
A few years ago a friend circulated an article from her hospital saying coughing rushes blood to the brain; Now however, if you look it up, it is contraindicated as a CPR technique. So maybe it is best not to do this and check with your doctor. It did make sense at that time but now I am not so sure. The Red Cross is against it.
Scary actually. I guess I might cough in case it is cardiac…they say coughing can save a life. hope you are well.
Thank you, Oliana.
I am well, though my mom is in hospital having had a heart attack yesterday.
Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear this. I hope all goes well…sending you warm thoughts your way. You are in my prayers. x
Thanks.
Oliana, I can’t help my curiosity. How can coughing save a life?

Because everyone wants a simple thing to be true, when things are rarely simply.

Sometimes, I think they’re hard to tell apart.

I prefer love! 🙂

That has to be scary. Hope she recovers and is able to enjoy life, for years to come.
Me, too.
This is one of my favourite that I’ve read of yours.
Thank you, Becky. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
