Poor hubby and his sinuses

July 25, 2008

My poor hubby. Last Saturday I had called the doctor because he was just miserable with his sinuses. For the past few weeks he complained a lot and I kept saying to go and see the doctor. He wouldn’t not go so I finally made him the appointment. He did have a sinus infection and prescribed him the Z Pak. Well he is frustrated that it wasn’t taking the other symptoms away and felt his nose was very dry. We have a humidifier in our room, just one we bought at Walmart, but I got to tell you that thing just sucks. I wish we could afford one of the Air O Swiss humidifiers I found online. I really think we need a good one and love how you can have either hot or a cool mist, so we would not need separate ones for the seasons you know? I worry about germs with our older one, especially when that filter was all nasty like it was. In winter, when he has the fireplace going, I really think it gets too dry out here. So I am working on hubby in maybe getting a bigger one that just might make a difference in winter for us all, especially dad with his COPD. I know the one we have now is too small of a unit and if he still is feeling that dry at night when sleeping, it is just not doing the job it needs to do. Maybe if we had a bigger one he would not feel as dry when he wakes up in the morning and feel better. I really don’t know what else to try. He said he has this funny burnt smell every morning. I wonder if its from quitting smoking??
