When I was going to Nursing school at 54, I would remember what it was like being a long haul trucker, living in a truck for weeks at a time. Provided all the motivation I needed to study.

My hat is off to you. That, my friend, is thinking outside the box. Bravo!!!

Yeah, I’m a Nurse at a long term care facility for mentally challenged residents. A good part of my shift is spent suctioning residents that have upper airway congestion.

It’s very important to drink a lot of fluids when you’re producing a lot of mucus. Like the post stated, it’s mostly water. It helps to keep the mucus thin and easy to discharge. Fluids not include alcohol in its many forms.
