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.

good lord....i think if i were you, i'd cut my nose off and throw it back at the world. stupid world...
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!
