It's that time again. Voting for round 4.02 of writerinadrawer is open until tomorrow afternoon.

You guys, SINUS INFECTION. Not migraine, not tension headache, SINUS INFECTION. Today my head no longer feels like it's going to EXPLODE. Hopefully that'll stay true.

Last night we went to that tango thing, despite the fact I felt pretty weird still. We learned some tango (wherein, I got frustrated a lot because the dance floor was too crowded for there to be room for anyone's error), but the girl who did the burlesque to "Shiny, Shiny Boots of Leather" way back was there dancing to "Roxanne" from Moulin Rouge, so, you know life was good.

Perhaps best, however, was making out with Patty on the balcony of the Players Club, UNTIL THERE WAS A FIST FIGHT! At Dances of Vice! At the Players Club. How absurd is that? Of course, because of where we were on the balcony, we couldn't go anywhere, so we just sort of watched it happen and hoped no one went over the side (no one did, although a $200 pipe apparently did that no one ever found). Weirdest part? The woman with one of the guys involved in the fight was wearing the same dress as the one I bought for the opera in Sydney. What are the odds?

AND! We met an LJ'er.

I love you all. I have read most of your responses because sitting up at the computer for more than 30 minutes at a time as been miserable, but I love you all.

For now that's all I've got. Still not loving being at my desk.

As a person who spent many years

with chronic sinus infections...I feel your pain. I would taken antibiotics and I would think I was better. But I learned at around age 23 that I had a deviated septum and that I had one sinus cavity that would never get better as the infection would go dormant but as soon as I was exposed to someone with a cold or flu I would not get the flu or the cold but my blocked sinus would flare up the infection.

Thankfully I had surgery to fix my problem. It was probably the singularly best thing ever for my health. I had no idea how much I wasn't breathing fully, no idea how much flavour food had and how if I have some sort of sinus issue now an antihistamine will actually be effective.

Take care of yourself.

I also have a deviated septum, but I'm way too fucking weird about doctors to let someone cut into my face.

cutting involved. It is all done through the nose. Apparently the absolute grossest sounding surgery for those in the operating room.

My nose looked exactly the same in the before and after stage.

Yeah, there's no way. I would have to be drugged, restrained and sign my decision making powers over someone else to go through surgery.

but it really, truly does work - I've had the surgery too and went from chronic sinus infections to ZERO sinus infections. more than 15 years infection free.
