viral sinusitis vs Sandy

We spent about an hour and a half at Arlington Urgent Care today. Sandy has viral sinusitis but
he thought his head was going to explode.

We enjoyed the waiting room for about an hour with other sufferers of seasonal colds, flus, etc.

After that we were escorted to the room in which the doctor would see Sandy. We waited there for about 1/2 an hour. I got a good bit of reading done.


As you may have guessed, for viral sinusitis there is nothing that can be prescribed. He is supposed to take antihistamines, Mucinex-D, and do nasal irrigation. This last bit I do everyday to maintain healthy sinuses due to allergies (I don't use a pot, as shown in the picture, though). Sandy, however, is having quite a bit of trouble with this and seems to throw up during the process. I guess practice will help...

  1. Sandy is doing much better. He even went for a run yesterday but that was due largely to the motivation of a new purchase. He got one of those Nike things that you put in your shoe and syncs with your ipod.
