The nose knows

I will never doubt google as my personal Dr. House again.

I have staph colonized in my schnoz. I also have an ulcer on my tonsil, but that is unrelated.

A couple of things.

1. He used this power sprayer to spray a combo of lidocaine and heavy duty afrin into my nose. I have never breathed this much air at one time. At first it was refreshing. Now it just scares me. Also, the back of my throat and tongue is numb so I talk funny.

2. He used this long pointy thing to pop the pus pockets in my nose. And then he showed the result to me. it was equal parts nasty and amazing. I think this tool is the one Edith is looking for to ensure a good nose pick.

When I was leaving, I have to drive down from the 7th floor in the parking garage. At one point I said "I'm bored with this" and stopped and it made me think of Cali and miss her.

Re: The nose knows

  • So what's the difference between staph and a zit? I still have mine but it's going away. And is there any danger in just letting it go away and sometimes come back, aside from the annoyance and how goddamned painful it is sometimes?

  • Bwahaha!  I forgot about that.  "I'm bored with this!  This is stupid!  I'm tired of turning right."  I'm glad you still think of me.

    I need to get a job where I can pop things for a living.  My H had this giant ingrown hair or spider bite or something on his inner thigh and I was begging him to let me pop it for him.  He let me try, but I had to be super gentle and it still hurt him too much.  He ended up popping it himself and I was all mad he didn't let me watch.  I'm glad he still loves me even though I am clearly a very sick individual.

  • well, a zit is caused by bacteria. We all have bacteria in us, but an outbreak can cause a bunch of zits apparently.

    Read that. Stop blowing and picking your nose.

  • Surprise

    HOW CAN I STOP BLOWING MY NOSE WHEN IT RUNS SO GODDAMNED MUCH!?

    Is this a lifetime thing? Or will you now be free of this affliction once you complete the antibiotics?

  • I wish I could have gone with you...

    I wonder if I have some kind of nose tumor...

    If I lay on my left side, I can't breathe out of my right nostril without holding it open breathe right strip style.

    is that weird?

    will they blast out my nose?

     

    I like that they showed you the product!

  • Moo, it will get rid of the colonization of staph with antibiotic cream and pill. I wonder if it can come back though.

    Edith, I think you should go to an ENT for your nose. Then you could hide their tools in your purse and take them home with you.

  • I have a gross question. TSD, KEEP OUT. LEAVE NOW.

     

     

    I have a lot of post nasal drip. If I have a colony of staphs frolicking in my nose, is it getting all down my throat, too?

  • staph can spread to the throat. it hadn't for me, but he said it was possible.
  • I'm glad your nose leprosy was cured.
