The Return of the Dreaded Gunk!

It’s back.
I think I felt it returning as far back as my last day in Phoenix.
The dreaded sinus gunk. Dammit. I am so SO completely done with getting this crap.

Of course, it spread into my eye. Of course, as always.
My PCP has taken cultures to see what it may be before treating it,
since last time the drops helped but didn’t really get rid of it all.

And now, the coughing. I work today from 3:30 pm to midnight.
I would have liked to sleep a bit later than 8:30,
but I rolled over. Big mistake. All the chest phlegm and mucous crap
rolled around and resettled, giving me the coughing fit.

Fortunately, once I get up and remain upright for a bit,
the coughing settles.

Dammit. The general consensus is still an unknown…
Either a virus that doesn’t make ‘healthy’ people sick,
or the pleasant PLEASANT thought that my sinuses simple produce
more crap now after chemotherapy. Lovely.
The ENT months back said that it could even be simply from aging
and have little to do with being post-chemo.
He said either events could – in theory – cause the change in body chemistry.

Blargh! I am sure it will be two weeks before it passes entirely.
