Yay My Nose is Running!

This may not seem like anything cool to most people… LOL but my nose is running, and I’m glad of it!  I swear my nose has been packed solid for over a year. I went into the doctor last year this time for help.. she gave me the Nasacort and Allegra and told me to call her if it didn’t work. Well, it never really worked.  But I started doing the Nasal Flush, Cleanse, whatever you want to call it, and that works!

It’s really gross at first, it kinda feels like going swimming and having my nose fill up with water. But after I do it a while, it feels actually very good! I’ve been trying to do it about four times a day, three times in each nostril when I do it. It’s pretty gross to have the water come out the other nostril and my mouth too, but I do think it’s clearing me up.

Muffit and his Tongue

I’m still a bit sick, and taking it easy.. training the dogs a little bit.  And reading. Yeap, I’m reading an actual book. I haven’t read a book in years. I love to read, mostly I’ve been listening to books on CD now. But I like Legend of the Seeker on our channel 30 here in Utah, and I got the books from Paper Back Swap so I’m reading the first one, Wizard’s First Rule. And I rather like it! I’ll have to see if my sister wants it after I’m done. It’s a huge book. I’m liking both the TV show and the books, though they are pretty different. I don’t mind, I can actually enjoy them both even if they are different!

(This is just a cute random picture of Muffit… gotta love that tongue! He’s a border collie boy.)

And I’m not eating very well being sick… I downed almost an entire chocolate orange yesterday. Ugh. Maybe diet pills would help me eat better when I’m sick. I need to get back to salad today. I ate oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast (yum!) and an apple just now.

I hope to go visit Sasha, our foster collie we had for a few days, later this afternoon. I’ll take Tatum with as she needs to get out, she’s been bored lately.  But for now, I’m going to sit and read for an hour or so and relax.  I do like to relax!

On this day..

    Are you using a neti pot? I love my neti pot… and if it’s coming out your mouth, try tipping your chin more into your chest.

      I had to look up what a Neti pot was! They look pretty cool… I am just using an old huge syringe type thing we got for when we we had to feed Littles our cat through a feeding tube. Though we never used it. It’s working well for me!

    GLad that things are working. I have to start doing that sinus rinse thing too when I get over this cold. I decided it was best to wait until the sinus congestion from the cold was gone.

      Yeah… congestion sucks! I’ve been doing it during my cold, which has hit me again today. Bleh. Oh well, I hope we both feel better soon!

    The Neti pot burns like pool water when you get it through the nose. It does work well! You can pick one up at Walgreens.
