My nose - Sinus infections and quitting smoking

I know you all want to hear about this. Maybe not! Anyway, I get sinus infection at least twice a year, always over the 4th of July and Christmas. This year was no different. Went to my ENT who did my sinus surgery 7 years ago and got antibiotics. I told her I quit smoking and she did the happy banananana man dance. She also said the nicotine deposits in my nose were gone. Gross. So not only does nicotine stick in your lungs, it sticks everywhere else.

She said it will take about 6 months for my sinus to clear totally. So by the end of April they should be all clear. Yeah!!!

YAHOOOOOO good for you!!!!!

You can do it :lol:
Did she also say that you may get infections less frequently (he asks hopefully)???
Theoretically I should get fewer infections. The Christmas one I expect since everyone else is always sick this time of year. The July ones, I dunno. She said in general smoking inflames the sinus linings, making the tissues more susceptible to bacterial invasion. Couple that with allergies to dust, mold (and probably my horse) and it makes an ideal breeding ground!
Paula,

So happy for you. I'll have to tell my sister what your doctor said about the sinus.

My mother quit 6 yrs. ago, now I'm working on my two sisters.

Beau is getting altered on January 25th.
Karen, you decided against showing Beau? As a dog in a Far Side cartoon once said "hey, I'm going to get tutored!"
Yes Paula, he'll be altered on the 25th of this month. Beau has an over bite and his bottom jaw never grew enough to line up with the top. He eats just fine.

I think we might do agility just for the fun of it. He really like jumping on the sofa and the Martha Stewart glass table outside. :evil:

I'll keep you posted.

Beau says: Hi Auntie Paula :D

PS His hair grew back in really fast. He looks like Oscar now.
