Month: July 2005

So I woke up yesterday, and I touched my nose … How often do you touch your nose? Welp, I never noticed how often I touch my nose, but what I did notice, it hurt … Hmm, weird … There seemed to be no reason what-so-ever that my nose should hurt when I touched it … Then throughout the course of the day, my nose started hurting all on its own, without touching it … I looked in the mirror … It looks a little swollen, maybe a little redish … Like there’s a knobby thing going on at the bridge of my nose … Did I break it? I didn’t remember getting slammed in the face by anything … Was it a sympathy injury from watching Million Dollar Baby? … Did my wife pound me in the face while I slept just cause I was sleeping and she wasn’t? Getting me back for all the sarcastic remarks I make to her from time to time? No. At least she says she didn’t … Hmm … Why does it hurt?

By late evening, I was sitting on the couch tilting my head back and it seemed there was some sinus stuff going on … Looking in the mirror, the swelling got a little bigger … Maybe I should go to the hospital? Maybe it’s a clogged passage and if I don’t go to the hospital my head will asplode? She went to bed and told me to wake her if I decided to go to the hospital … I fell asleep …

In the morning she asked how it was … it still hurt all on its own … She said ‘Oh my god, look how big it got!’ so I ran to the bathroom to check it out … It wasn’t any bigger … See how she says things that warrant my sarcasm! So, it’s to the family doctor I go … My appointment is at 2:00pm … I go, the doctor asks me if I had a good picking session lately … Honestly I didn’t … She said it was most likely a bug bite. A bug bite?! Why would a bug want to bite my nose? … In the doctor’s professional opinion, she thought the bug may have been hungry … She looked up my nose with that plastic flashlight thing and said yup, it’s infected … Scribbled on a piece of paper and now I have huge white horse pills to take twice a day until they’re gone … Bugs suck!
