Whatever happened to that sinus infection?

A few folks have asked how I was doing post-TED and whether my sinuses had cleared up.  Well, sadly, the answer is yes...and no. 

I did get healthier, almost back to normal, and then under the stress of long days and having flown home, I took a turn for the worse.  So, yesterday, I saw a doctor and am now on antibiotics for a sinus infection.  I seem to be responding well to them--the ice pick has stopped stabbing into my left ear like Norman Bates on a triple-espresso binge, and I can swallow with only the slightest of grimaces--so I look forward to healing fully.

I don't expect that to happen before Monday or Tuesday, but the return to full health is now in sight.
