Digging over the weekend
left me with some sinus blockage the likes of which- No, no, it’s too terrible for even me to describe. (Shudder)
Anyway after having had grief breathing all last night I woke and snorted the sinuses out with the neti pot.
Oh. My. God.
I mean, there was mud. Dirt. grass. Brake shoes. gravel. Circus peanuts. Candles. Knives. Forks. Lanyards. Tylenol. Allen wrenches. Batteries. Screwdrivers. Gloves. TV remotes. Flashlights. Socket wrenches. Bones, none of them (as far as I can determine), mine. Plaster of Paris frogs. Real frogs. Pencil sharpeners, and more than a few spent shell casings.
Then I moved to the right nostril.
Holy sweet mother of God. Well, at least the zombie turtles are still resting comfortably in there.
Hope it helps the sinuses. If it just tones down the vertigo I’ll be in fat city.
That was awesome…
I think I blew a snot bubble into my coffee on that laundry list of items.
I can hear the conversation with your otolaryngologist:
“Wow, Og… How’d you get that Harley Davidson up inside there? Any why is it still running?”
And That’s why I like and use
the neti pot. It works.
(Tho I’ve yet to flush out a
socket wrench.)

Wow, what a list. I did pull about 6 foot of rubber hose out of mine once.
It does feel good to breath.
Twenty or so years ago I had a spell of minor illness, running a low fever for about four months and feeling in general like a lump of hammered shit. The Missus browbeat me into going to the sawbones, who put me on a regimen of some kind of pills the size and texture of footballs, and had me steam my sinused with Vicks Vapo-Rub in boiling water. About a week and a half into this ritual, I had a sneezing fit that made me black out while I was at work. I blew a chunk of crap out of my nose about the size and appearance of a stepped on banana slug. I put it in a little bottle and took it to the Dr. after work. He said it was a chunk of dead sinus membrane and to continue with the pills and Vapo-Rub torture. Over the next week I got another half pound of filth, corruption and other assets of a Democrat Administration out of my sinuses. I finished the pills. The fever and general malaise went away and I’ve never had another incident like that since. It’s strange that I haven’t had a stuffed up nose in over twenty years now. I’ve had pneumonia twice, but always I could breathe. Kinda.
