ENT Visit

I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, but I went back for my ENT visit. They shot that stuff up my nose again, and placed the ominous device there for nostril probing for me to stare at while I waited for the doc… well, specialist. After asking me how I was, I described that I didn’t really feel any different. The original reason I went there was discussed, and he explained to me once again that the size of my swollen lymph nodes were just beyond the size to even worry about. He mentioned that even he has some swollen ones that he’s been living with for 10 years. Damn! Another high priced doct… uhm, specialist, that deals with the things that ail him! So, he looked down my throat, checked out my nostrils (but didn’t shove that thing all the way in this time) and said everything looked okay, just a little irritated … He then asked if the stuff they sprayed in my nose helped me to breathe through my nose better … I told him that I really couldn’t tell … I mean, I don’t normally spray things in my nose, and it just feels weird having this junk in my nose that I normally don’t, so I couldn’t answer him honestly. So, he slipped me a sample bottle of Flonase, and told me if it worked for me that he would write a prescription for it for me. I was to use this as an alternative to taking some sort of sinus relief pill … From what a guy told me at the bar last night was that that wasn’t how Flonase worked … You were supposed to use Flonase twice a day or something and it took 2 days to start working. Well, I guess I will try what the do.., specialist said to do, and if that doesn’t work, I will tell him in August … So, he patted my head and sent me on my way … Whole visit took about 10 minutes …
