Im'e glad to see you socializing as a couple and that you are a little more comfortable. You are aren't you?
As for your W's cronic cough it can go away if she quits smoking. It would take a while but it does go away as long as there is no illness behind it. I have seen many a person I know who smoked for years and had a cough stop smoking and the cough did too.
Thank You for the post I have been trying to think of things. My mind has been fried I feel for now but I posted some things.
