July 27, Five Things About Sinus Infections & Can This Flower Be Saved?

Great title huh?

1. You are sick and you think, “Okay, no big deal. I’ve had colds before,” and you continue with your life thinking it will just go away. You would be very wrong about that.

2.  The symptoms are pain, dizziness, headache, sore throat, fatigue, annoying cough, grouchiness, apathy, ringing in your ears and a short temper with those you love. Sorry lovies.

3. Don’t wait six days before seeing th doctor. I found my current doctor three years ago. I felt like I have been waiting for her all my life. Anyway, she immediately knew what was wrong with me. She always does. I love that. She said, “You have the sinus infection from hell.” Don’t wait to see your doctor, go right away because…

4. You can get medicine to fix it. I asked her how long it would take for the body to fight it off without medication. She said in Europe, sinus infections go untreated. It can take one 12 weeks to kick it without antibiotics. 12 weeks. I said, “Give me something please.”

5. Rest. I love that advice.

It may be psychosomatic but I feel better after only two applications of the medicine. Dare I say that I can’t wait to take some more drugs this evening:)

Here is the above flower before tweaking, playing and editing it all yesterday evening (I’m resting remember?)

For some reason, my camera seems to over saturate bright colors against a neutral or dark background. I don’t know why…I didn’t take this is in vivid setting, which I play with from time to time.

The edited version reminds me of the kind of pattern you would find in an old Hawaiian quilt…
