I always knew I was a deviant
This morning my throat was back to feeling horrible again. I tried to speak to TH in the kitchen this morning, and nearly choked just from trying to talk. It's like something in there is sticking to something else, and everything's really raw and tender. It hurts to cough, but I can't stop. In the meantime, my head and my ear still hurt.
The ENT doctor said I have a crooked septum. I believe this is synonymous with a deviated septum. It bends into my right nostril, which is somehow causing something to happen to my eustachian tube, and the pressure is all jacked up. He also said my ear drums are retracted because of this-- at least that's what I think he said-- and he said to hold my nose and blow to push them back where they're supposed to be. Then he stuck a long metal tube up my nose and sucked out a bunch of snot. That felt kinda good once it was over. I need one of those long sucky tubes at the house. After the sucky tube, they did a hearing test, and the good news is that my hearing is perfect.
I'm kinda confused about precisely what is happening, to be honest. He really did explain things, but for some reason I couldn't keep it straight. He was saying a lot of things at once. All I really know is that the thing between my two nostrils is crooked, and it's bending in and partially blocking my right nostril, and that's the beginning of the problem. He said I have some swelling in there, and he gave me a bunch of steroids. If it's not better in 3 weeks, he's going to do a CAT scan to make sure he's got the right diagnosis, then he's going to do surgery to straighten my nose, which should relieve my ear problems.
This is weird, because my nose isn't noticably crooked. It's kinda small, and I always thought that was why I couldn't breathe through my nose easily. So if my septum has always been jacked up, why is it just now bothering me? No answers on that.
I just read that this problem can be caused by excessive nose picking, or cocaine use.
Now I'm gonna go do some blow and maybe dig for gold, pinky finger style.
