My sinuses are 42 years old today

My sinus cavities (and the rest of me) are 42 years old today.  Sadly, my sinuses feel every bit their age, as they moan and groan and struggle with the dragging virus I picked up on my travels.  I bought my first “neti pot” today as a last resort, to try to clean out my nasal nooks and crannies, but the cleansing only made me feel worse.  Maybe I used too much of the saline solution, I don’t know—I just know that I ended up with a sinus headache and an irritated, runny nose.  This seems to be a very rare reaction, so I want to try again, but I hate the thought of dealing with all that discomfort if it doesn’t work out right.  My sinuses may not be agreeable with the neti.

The virus started about two weeks ago with a sore throat, then moved to a bit of a dry cough and almost laryngitis, and now I’ve got a runny nose, bubbling ears, and swollen lymph nodes in my neck.  I want it to go away so I can enjoy my free sushi from Todai today!  If it could just leave me alone today, I’ll happily let it bother me on the 6th again—I’m nothing if not fair.  I do hope I’ll be back to some more detailed blog entries soon, too.
