I don't know what is going on
Down there inside my chest
It's manufacturing something
Which I'd describe at best
As a very good adhesive
That will stick to anything
It pops out unexpectedly
And to anything will cling
It might sound so disgusting
But that's as it may be
It's what we have to live with
When we've got COPD
Morning Don, I feel for you, though after all the Meds over the Years, I don't really suffer with The Glue, it seems, I have Dry Lungs now, But many Years ago, I could cough up Buckets. in fact when Hubby Wallpapered He didn't have any Paste, (Yes, you see it coming), so I thought well ! I have enough, Job Done. Ha Ha . Thanks for another Great Rhyme for the day. Love n Hugs . XXXX
Hi, You say you have dry lungs now. So are mine as I can't bring up anything for them to analyse. Do you know why this is? Does it mean it's better and the colomycin I nebulize has worked maybe. Chrys
I'm not sure Chrys, I did ask my Consultant. I told her I had reduced my Carbosisteine to 2 a day, also, Azithromycin is Great for keeping Infections at bay, maybe the combined two has enabled to Dry the Mucus up? I recently had a course of "Oramorph"(Morphine) which could have Dried it up? We are never sure how they all can interact with each other and our Bodies, As I say , Amy didn't have an answer only that it is a combination, possibly the Oramorph.? We are all a Mystery Chrys. We are very Interesting magical People. Love n Hugs. XXXX
Thanks my dear. Take care. Chrys
That’s not so good Don but I hope things improve soon.
Love and hugs to you and Midge. Xxxxx
It’s normal for me Carole I thought it was for most of us. It’s only a problem if I don’t cough any up or it becomes bright green. even then it’s not a problem unless I start feeling rough then antibiotics and steroids are required.
Good morning Mr.D and you've got me in stiches laughing 😂😂😂, because it's so true. Us COPD'ers manufacture the best adhesive "gunk" known to man. So Mr D. for your brilliant rhyme, its a .......🏆CLASSIC🎉🎊✨!!!!
Hope that you're on the abs Don and that you improve very soon. Take care XX P
Nothing stops the production process and I deal with that, it’s just becomes a problem when I pick up a bug now and then.
Get to the doctor's straight away sounds like you have something nasty brewing down there.
Need to take care at your age.
Or any age with COPD.
Oh I do take care Dilly thank you. I’ve learnt over the years when antibiotic and steroids are called for, but it still takes time for them to work.
I have to be more vigilant about what I read while eating my lunch.
Seriously though, I hope you start to feel better soon.
Brian Cox would gaze in wonder at this mess the universe makes
No doubt Mary Berry would show us how to use it in some bakes
Monty don would dig it in his garden and make the flowers grow
Greta thurberg would tell us facts that we really don't want to know
But this gooey stuff you talk of Don that lurks inside our chest
Is normally a very good sign that our lungs are past their best .

You just get better and better at this. Lovely 😀.
You are teaching me well Master Po and though i do hate those inspirational and mindfulness mantras i will follow your teachings to the end. x
Mine or yours? 🤔x
None of ours Master Po we have our feet firmly on this planet .
The way we all seem to be going at the moment, all of us!!!
I saw dr yesterday got even more antibiotics & higher steroids. Apart from now looking like a sumo wrestler from mirtazipine, i too can provide wallpaper paste & with serious back pain nearly took the roof off when he touched it! Verdict is infection - what a surprise- pain not from lungs aa wheezing rather than cracking & if breathing gets any worse hospital! I don’t think so somehow- I’m planning on surviving Christmas not getting something else. Good luck all happy wallpapering
Feel for you Don. I have lots off sample bottles in the hope I can do a sample of phelgm for them I have tried all the exercises and huff for England but nothing comes up.2 years so far they have been waiting.
Love your rhyme keep them coming.
Stewth! It’s like milking a cow with me.🙄
I get worn out doing any huffing but thankfully I only have to do it when I have lung infection. You must have chronic bronchitis as well Don, still its better out than in. x x Hope production eases for you some soon.
Sounds horrible Don 😧I really feel for you hope you feel better soon X
Nah! It's become a way of life for me coughing and spitting, very discretely of course. 😉
Take care Don 💛💕x
That is just brilliant Don! Chrys
Cap'n, I have had rolls of 'paste the wall' wallpaper waiting for me to hang it for the past several years in my porch - but have not really been quite well enough to perform this particular task - however the contents of your chest sound absolutely perfect especially as the paste I purchased years back may well have dried out by now - so please keep it in tip top condition for me as I am sure only you can!

This thing that makes us cough cough cough
Could seriously hack us off.
Others think it quite outrageous
When we say it's not contagious.
They just stare and tut and glower
While we cough for one whole hour.
There's no sign of their compassion
When they berate us with a passion.
If we were as unkind as them
We'd cough and cover them with our phlegm.
😁
Know that feeling well Don 😢x
Hope you are on the mend now Don. x
What fun you’re having with your sticky rhythms. I too have had this junk clog my throat for more than 2 years. I have IPF and something called organising pneumonia. The glue clogs my throat, gets up my nose and causes gagging nights. 3 specialists said they had no clue. The fourth said, of course, it mucilitis. That’s what’s showing up on your scans and x-rays. Now I’m a buddy to a scientist working on this problem. Let’s hope he can nut it out with me as his pet guinea pig. I am sure there is a solution to all of this!
Hi Don, how are you doing now? I hope you're starting to feel better. Sending you lots of good wishes.
With bronchiectasis, I have to do my breathing exercises religiously, every day, and produce a lot of mucous, about three tissues worth and then more on and off during the day. That way I do shift the mmajority of it in a fifteen minute session. Very tiring, never want to do it, but believe it helps to keep the bugs away. Love Iris x
Very true Don thank goodness for our inhalers
production of sticky mucus through coughing 
Blood in sticky phlegm
Nasty subject, but... colour of phlegm...? ahem.
A cup of coffee might help with getting up mucus.
