I believe I have mentioned in the past my chronic runny nose, and by "mentioned" I mean "whined at length about." The dripping from my nose never really stops, it just fluctuates between a light dribble and a full-on flood. It runs in my family (did you see what I did there? Runs? Oh never mind.) My father, my brother, at least one of my nieces, we all got drippy noses.
The medical industry was not able to give me any insights into this constant flow and so I turned to the internet, because isn't shopping for a diagnosis you like what it's there for? Dr Google came through once again and explained that my condition is Non-Allergic Rhinitis, a runny nose that is not caused by any allergy. That actually seems less like a diagnosis and more like a simple statement of fact, but it's more than any of the physical doctors with expensive degrees had come up with.
Since that discovery, I've found out there's a similar condition called Geriatric Rhinitis, old people runny nose. I'm not sure when, or if, I segued from one into the other, but since it doesn't seem to matter, I'm not really concerned. Again, no real cause or treatment, the medical community just shrugs and says get used to it. Anyway, what brings up this whole fascinating insight into mrpeenee and his snot is that this afternoon I blew my nose, as I so very often do, and a gout of blood shot out of my nose and filled up the handkerchief. What the fuck, Geriatric Rhinitis?
Staring at what looked like evidence from a crime scene, I should have been panicked or at least concerned, instead all I felt was mild annoyance. I think when you reach my age, being faced with yet more evidence that you're falling apart isn't really shocking, you just file it along with all the other symptoms you've been collecting since the first Bush administration. I am just glad it happened in the privacy of my bathroom.











Tout est beau et en plus, j'adore les hommes roux et les beaux culs !
ReplyDeleteI pour warm saltwater through my nose every morning. It helps with the dribbling.

Very good looking lads in here.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure of the second one's name? I know him as Harry Louis, if memory serves.
Have you tried the saltwater from a squirt bottle to clear the nose?
I can think of an orifice I'd prefer to see some fluids spurting out of! Zack's, mainly. Jx
ReplyDeleteThat "cowboy burlesque" looks to be less exciting than Nancy's Needle Service Center.

My Uncle > Your Uncle.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any left now, but I can't imagine either of my uncles furnishing me with photos of cowboys, daddies, and nice guys back in the day. You are very fortunate indeed, Amber.
DeleteI trust the blood stopped running even if the snot didn't, peenee?
ReplyDeleteNot only do I suffer from the same nasal malaise, I also appreciate a shiny heinie. Gracious Amber, I hope you know what a treasure you have in your uncle here!
ReplyDeleteBloody snottery.
