OMG, you collegiate sports people are insano-crackers. Nutso! National sports are the only way to go.

The University of Alabama mascot is the Crimson Tide (which, frankly, always sounded like it was related to menstruation rather than algae [I'm assuming they mean red tide from nasty algae, and I have no idea why that would be a good mascot, but then sports mascots often baffle me, living as I do in a state where Chief Wahoo is still considered peachy keen]).

And at least a marginal acknowledgement that this may indeed be the same sinus infection I've had since MARCH. Also, we will now get a CATscan, after the big-gun antibiotics regimen finishes in (gulp) 28 days.

Good god, Sox, that's awful! Good luck with it!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

USS Enterprise in Christmas Lights

This Constitution-class starship comes equipped extra running lights. According to several redditors, it’s on display in East Peoria, Illinois. That city is apparently famous for its grand Christmas light displays.

Have they checked you for MRSA? That's what the sinus infection that would not die was.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OMG, you collegiate sports people are insano-crackers.

People often root for a particular collegeteam because they went to that school. Alums can be funny sorts of people.

not your mom's socks.

Have they checked you for MRSA?

Not yet. I have had anti-b resistant doctors (sorry, bad joke), so so far it's only been amox. for a week in June and a week in Nov and "keep trying with the steroids and the claritin". The ENT appointment took a while to get - but this guy was all about the killing it with fire. No more amox - big monster pills instead. If that doesn't work, I'll make sure they check.

I had several different doctors tell me that I could not have had a sinus infection that long, and while talking to the second ENT, who also clearly did not believe my sinuses were still killing me, said, "Hmm. There's something about your nose" and took a swab.

When the results came back, I felt like the person whose epitaph was "I told you I was sick."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, that all sounds terrible.

I am so scared of the stomach thing! I know some people locally who have it this week.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so, they won't be actually using fire on your sinuses, yes?

Because that thought has me huddled in a corner ready to scream.

I cannot imagine having a sinus infection for almost a year. Good grief. I can't think properly when I have a head cold much less a full blown sinus infection. For MONTHS.

That sounds awful, Sox. Good luck.

To hate like this is to be happy forever.
