D'oh! I blew a twenty-nine weekday posting streak...
It's been kind of a busy week at work. I've been working on a tedious project gathering scanned copies of all vendor invoices for a job we did in 2007-2008 (we're talking over a thousand invoices), and have been working right through my breaks just to get it done. I'm at a point now where I'm waiting on a couple more vendors to send me their invoices, and have nothing more to do until I get them, so am finally taking a much needed break.
I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. Usually my frequent nosebleeds are associated with dry, cold weather, and start to subside as it warms up. Instead, they're getting worse. I can't even stop them by applying pressure anymore; the only thing that works is to just let it bleed until it naturally clots, then wait a while before removing the clot lest it start up again. I fill up three or four paper cups in the process. I can't even blame this on aspirin, because since getting my glasses and then Wii Fit, I've had a lot fewer headaches in the past several months. (The ironic thing is that when my nose bleeds, I get a headache after, and I can't work out for fear of it starting again.) I only have about a month until I fly home to Oregon for a week, and I originally thought the nosebleeds would have gone away by then, but now I'm terrified that I'm going to be up on a plane at high altitude, in that dry airplane air, and my nose is going to start bleeding profusely and I won't be able to do a thing about it. Everything I've read about frequent nosebleeds says that cauterization only makes it worse, but right now I don't think it can get any worse, so I'm going to see if there's anything my doctor can do for me. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, but I have to try.
By the way, please don't buy into all of the hysteria over this stupid swine flu. I can't believe agencies like the World Health Organization and the CDC are being so irresponsible as to spread all this fear and panic over a flu that has killed one person in this country so far, when we already have a regular flu which kills tens of thousands of Americans every year.
