Nose Bleed

15 years ago I had sinus surgery to fix a broken nose I got when I was 2. The doctor told me that "no matter how hard you get in the face, you won't get a bloody nose" because they removed a bunch of tissue. This was good because I used to get bloody noses all the time before the surgery.

Right now I am fighting a cold and allergies. I went to blow my nose and there was blood everywhere. THE DOCTOR LIED TO ME! Though, I guess 15 years without one is a pretty good run.

Also, it turns out that pregnancy can cause bloody noses. CRAZY.


Update, I am also pretty sure I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the last couple weeks. They are weird but not really painful.

That tissue probably grew back!

When I was a kid and beginning to have all my crazy sinus/allergy problems, they removed my adenoids. Later when I was in college and trying to figure out why my sinuses & allergies were still so bad after having done shots forever etc., the doc recommended removing my adenoids. When I said I had already had that done, he said they grow back! I asked since it didn't work the first time why would removing them again help? Didn't have a good answer for that one...

Yeah, I also had my adenoids removed and I bet they did grow back. Which might explain all the issues I have been having with my sinuses in the last couple years.
