I did not cough last night, and woke up feeling ever so much better. The air quality is better today, so maybe that had an effect. And it could be that two medications that I suspect of having a bad effect on me have finally worn off. I don't know, but I'll take it and hope that it continues.

We had a Zoom with Deb and the Prussian a little earlier than usual, because Deb had a diagnostic doctor visit scheduled. We laughed a bit in the dark way of older people over the fact that our mutual friend whose funeral is tomorrow will have to have a replacement pallbearer, because one of those selected is unexpectedly in the hospital having his gall bladder removed. The Prussian was supposed to be one of the pallbearers as well. Tonight I was out visiting with my women's group when I got an emergency call from Deb to say that while she was having tests, the Prussian started feeling ill, and she was about to take him to the ER. We are hoping for the best and that it will turn out to be nothing significant and he'll be released tomorrow. But I don't think he'll be up for carrying any coffins. Getting older is tough.
