‘Going to the mattresses‘ is a line from one of the all time great movies of the 20th century – a gritty and tormenting drama about urban warfare in one of the most deadly cities in the world. I am of course talking about ‘You’ve Got Mail’ starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
Anyway, this refers to a time of war and conflict when no other path is open to the opposing factions. This week I am waging war on my sinus cavities. Having tried several forms of antibiotic and every hippy concoction known to hey man I have elected to flood my nasal cavities with a mixture of saline water, sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen pyroxide.
Not only will this flush out all infected mucous and blood from my sinuses but I’m hoping the searing pain will temporarily distract me from the headache I’ve had for nearly 4 months.
They do say that a change is as good as a rest.
I didn’t surf today. Meh.
just gotta say: eww…
double eww!
You Canadialanders are so squeamish. It’s all part of nature’s beautiful pagentry… x
try going to your local(ha! ha!) swimming pool diving or bombing(optional)in the deep end and swimming to the bottom,stay there for as long as possible.
this is not a suggestion for the application of external water pressure with the intention of forcefully clearing your sinusus,i just wanna see you go blue.
hope all is well in them there hills,strong island is fun fun fun
Shouldn’t you be in Bali or Sumatra or Skegness or something?
java in 2 weeks,and as you can guess im very excited.
i have turned white and i havnt surfed for so long my gills have fused together.
I wonder if leaches would help? small ones obviously …..
I know a few. Most of them are quite tall though…
I bet they still get up your nose though …….
Very true.
you could snort tequila and go surfin….it would tick the saline water part of the equation at least. hope thats helpful. x
Definitely the next things on my list… x
Have you tried hanging from inversion boots and allowing a steady drip-feed of Medronho to seep into your nasal passages?
Yes but that was a very long time ago and had nothing to do with sinus infections…
