The World Hates Me

So, I finally went to the Dr. yesterday regarding my sinus issues and low and behold, I am just having a major allergy attack. Good news - It isn't an infection, Bad news - The world seems to hate me (that is actually what the Dr. said to me, ha). I guess about 4 weeks ago, the molds went crazy and I just happen to have quite an allergy to molds, so I have been paying the price. **Totally Gross Info Coming Up** When people have a severe allergy attack, the turbinades (those things up your nose that produce mucus) have blood pumped to it and then they swell and the flow of blood stops, which creates a bit of a problem. So, because of this one turbinade is violet in color and one is blue in color. I told my team last night that I really am the most spirited NTHS alumni since I am purple through and through!! ha. Anyways, yes, I have a purple nose (on the inside) you can't actually see it without some really cool tools. I have been placed on a short, low-grade dose of steroids (this time it won't make me fat) and nose spray every night for the rest of my life as well as antihistamine. Ugh, life is wonderful.

I am SO going to make fun of your purple and blue nose... Hmmm...ah, here's one - boy, Matt sure has gotten creative in finding new ways to beat up his wife! :-)

In all seriousness, though, I'm sorry this has been so rough. I hope someone somewhere finds a solution (that doesn't involve removing your nose). Hope to see you again soon!
