Casa De Morrill

Sinus problems suck. Before this year, in all of my 23 years of life, I’ve never had sinus issues. This year, it was time to make up for all of that. Thursday, it started with a sore throat. That wasn’t too bad. I dealt with that. Saturday, I started just kind of feeling icky, but I made it through hang gliding, a road trip to Atlanta and Cirque du Soleil. Sunday, though, was when it hit. Like a rock, too. A huge, heavy boulder that smacked me straight in the face. My sinuses just attacked like crazy. I had the stuffy nose, the watery eyes, the sinus pressure (with the usual headache that accompanies). Everything. I made it through Sunday all right. I dosed on Tylenol Sinus and that at least held things at bay for a little while. Yesterday, though, it got worse. The sinus pressure was excruciating. I don’t know how I made it through 8 hours of work yesterday. I felt like my sinuses were ballooning inside of my head to the point that instead of snot dripping out of my nose it was graymatter. So, last night, Sean made the suggestion of Nyquil. “It’ll knock you out, so you can get some rest,” he said. Bah. I took it and went to bed. I don’t think I got more than 45 minutes consecutive rest for the next 6 hours. At 5am, I finally woke up and took the Tavist Sinus medicine that we bought along with the Nyquil last night. Hot damn. It worked. I took this morning off of work so that I could get more sleep and sure enough, the medicine’s working. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I’ll have had a decent night’s rest and be back to my semi-normal state. *keeps fingers crossed*
