My mom says the strangest things

So I had a really bad coughing fit (well you would too if you had accidentally swallowed just as you were about to cough), when I came out to get some warm water from the kitchen my mom said that I should go and see the doctor. I explained that it was because I had accidentally swallowed as I coughed, she went on to say that if I keep on coughing I'm going to break my chest (???!!!???). She then went on to say that I'll break my lungs (???!!!???). The way she was going on you'd think that I've been coughing this badly every day for the past year! Sorry but the last time I had a cough was like early last year, whereas she coughs every day - so why would I "break" my lungs but not her???!!!???

You're probably wonder why I haven't been to the doctor...well there's mainly 3 reasons for that - 1. I only have a cough that came about from having a sore throat followed by cold air being blown on my back (thanks to my boss who complained his room was warm and made me set up the fan right behind me while I sat on the other side of the desk typing stuff into the computer - 2. I can't really bother going to see the company doc because they changed the panel of docs we can use and the one who I always used to go to is no longer on the panel and my colleagues say the one near us isn't that great - 3. the nearest doc on our panel to my house is like 20 mins away.

Well if the cough shows no signs of improving tomorrow then I'll see if I can't pop over to the doctors tomorrow morning. The funny thing is I seem to go through long stretches of no coughing and then suddenly I'll have a coughing fit and I haven't been coughing while I sleep in fact the thing that has been causing me to wake up in the night is the need to go to the loo cos I've been drinking a ton of water!!!
