Gross.
😒😷👎
Yes indeed, practically every time I acquire a head cold with a runny nose, if I blow my nose too hard AIR ALSO COMES OUT OF MY EYE!
Yes, you read that correctly.
I did not have rebellious tear-ducts on my aging bingo, but here we are. This condition is apparently more common in older folks, babies, and those who've broken their noses, all conditions that currently describe me—the baby part is apt since I have a cold and I'm a man—and yes I did add this for preemptive reasons in the comments. ;)
The only bonus: no pink eye. YET.
Dear friends, aging is no a (decidedly) laughing matter.
On the other hand, it sounds like a neat parlor trick...
ReplyDeleteFinally, I have a skill. ;)
DeleteI had a friend in school that could blow air out their eyes at will. Was pretty neat. And real too!
ReplyDeleteObjectively, it is kinda neat.
DeleteWell, after hearing about your woeful condition, I won't bitch anymore about what happens when I get a bad cold. The combination of low lying sinuses and long roots on my upper teeth means that if I get a bad head cold with inflamed sinuses, all my upper teeth ache to the point where I want to pull them out with pliers.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.... a head cold always gives me sore teeth.
DeleteWhat?! Sorry to hear this, Debra. That sounds terrible and I'm sufficiently sheepish now for whining about my minor oddity.
DeleteThat happens to me sometimes as well, nice to know I'm not the only one:)
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.
You too? Thanks.
DeleteThat's a new condition to me. Hope it is resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteResolving this issue is apparently complicated. Nbd.
DeleteEww.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
DeleteAs long as it's only air that comes out of your eyes.... could be a lot worse!
ReplyDeleteGood point.
DeleteNot laughing. I use supplemental oxy at night and notice nasal secretions thickened by this. Never thought of the tear ducts. Thanks for the idea; will follow up.
ReplyDeleteYes, find out.
Delete...this is news to me!
ReplyDeleteFun times, eh?
DeleteWow! This is amazing! I've never heard of this. But yes, aging certainly is challenging, but it's better than the alternative.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
DeleteI have never heard of this either. Get well soon, and yes, getting old isn't for the faint of heart!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a big deal...I exaggerate sometimes, ha.
DeleteThat's something I never expected to read!
ReplyDeleteWeird, isn't it?
DeleteI remember there was a baseball movie where the joke was that the pitcher was so zoned in that he was breathing from his eyes.
ReplyDeleteHa, maybe he was?
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteI've heard of people that could drink something and then squirt it out of their eye. Must be a way of making this condition entertaining. You might want to look into that. (See what I did? --Look into that)
Ha! Well done, sir. Insert fist bump here.
DeleteI saw a YouTube short about this just a few days ago! It impressed me then and it still impresses me :D On a related note, have you ever wanted to run away with the circus??
ReplyDeleteI'm finally circus-qualified! Ha. :)
DeleteMy late husband could blow air out of his eye too.
ReplyDeleteI hope this brought back fond memories; sorry about your husband.
