- Turns out that mucus color isn't an indication of anything; it<br>
need not even be infected *at all*. It means that the mucosal<br>
lining is irritated and/or dehydrated, and that's it. TIL.<br>
<br>
- Therefore, what's going on in my lungs (which hasn't spread to<br>
my sinuses) isn't very interesting; I should let them know if it<br>
gets worse.<br>
<br>
- I got a list, again, of surgeons that can fix my breathing on the<br>
right side. This time I'll try not to lose it. -_-<br>
<br>
- The next time I get a full-blown sinus infection, I might as well<br>
come into the office and get a low-power CT scan (which they can<br>
do right in their office) and see if there's any obvious<br>
blockages. It was generally agreed that while having 4 major<br>
sinus infections a year is Bad, doing so when you have 4 year<br>
olds in the house doesn't really prove much of anything about<br>
anything, but I might as well get the CT scan in case they're<br>
like "Oh, dude, you've totally got this thing and wow surgery<br>
would be a good idea".<br>
<br>
- Doctors always laugh at my "So, people keep telling me that<br>
surgery is a last resort, but surgery has always solved all of<br>
the problems I have presented it with and I love it".<br>
