Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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."
Ugh, that all sounds terrible.
I am so scared of the stomach thing! I know some people locally who have it this week.
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.
Alums can be funny sorts of people.
To hate like this is to be happy forever.
I had what I thought was a long-term sinus infection this Fall. Turns out the infection went away but my sinus tissues were inflamed as a result of the infection and that was what was causing the pain. A course of inhaled steroids did the trick.
A few years back I had a sinus infection that went on for months. It was bad enough that the doctor sent me for a chest x-ray to make sure my lungs were OK. Took months of heavy-duty antibiotics, but we finally got rid of it.
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,
Technically, the mascot is Big Al, the elephant. But, back in the 1950's, a sportscaster said that Alabama's defensive line looked like a deadly crimson tide breaking over the field. It stuck. Roll Tide.

So the teams are the Crimson Tide, and the mascot is Big Al the elephant? It would be kind of hard to embody an actual crimson tide on the sidelines without a lot of trouble, mess, and cleanup.
When I went to Miami (Ohio), we were the Redskins (which was changed to the Redhawks in the late 90s/early 2000s, after I graduated). But the actual big, lumbering stuffed-animal mascot on the sidelines was a big stupid red bird thing nicknamed Tom O'Hawk (because, see, that way it was still tied to our it's-not-racist-it's-a-TRIBUTE mascot).
When they changed from Redskins to Redhawks, I always wanted them to stay the Redskins...but make the mascot a little redskin potato. That would have been pure 100% awesome.
That's been suggested for the Washington team ... with no results.
