The Polyps

September 23 2006
I've been having sinus crappiness going on lately.  I've also had sleep crappiness going on lately.  Tonight, they teamed up on me in the form of hallucinations.  I awoke around 2:15am being unable to breathe, but these polyps in my mind had me convinced that if I could just pronounce my French and Italian correctly, I'd be able to breathe again.  Naturally, I laid there for about half an hour struggling to breathe so that I could pronounce words correctly.  I was invariably wrong, but that's the way it goes.  Eventually, I hit a point where the floodgates of my nose opened and I realized that these polyps (which had surrounded me in a multitude of shapes and sizes); I then blew my nose and felt good for a few minutes.  I turned on some Andrea Bocelli to help me sleep, but the polyps returned, changing shape and color and size as Andrea's music changed; each time they'd change, I'd have to change my toes' directions, or else the polyps would stop my breathing again.  After a bit, I realized that the polyps were not real, but now it's a quarter after three.  I've taken 2 Tylenol and a sleeping pill, so maybe I can conk out and make it through the rest of the night.

That is one of the strangest things I've ever heard.

Perhaps you should stay away from the night air.
