What to do when you are unable to speak without coughing?

According to the Health Care Professional at FastMed yesterday, I am experiencing Bronchitis and a secondary infection.  This present malady is responsible for my inability to talk without coughing.  Annette is excited about my verbal silence, however, the constant hacking of the cough has replaced my words.  What to do?  I have read the Book of Matthew 3 times ( hint, hint... Growing in Jesus class), have read the entire Book of Proverbs, and will probably finish Lewis Grizzard's last book, "It Wasn't Always Easy, but I Sure Had Fun." I am assured that I will feel better soon... Just do not seem to be able to find "soon" on my calendar.  Please pray for me as you pray and read, read, read.  Hope you do not have to be sick to be motivated to do it!  REMEMBER - THE BEST IS YET TO BE!!!
