Cold Nose

The end of my nose is cold. This isn't a new thing, it's one of those things I have forgotten to mention here.

Last night I insisted husband checked my nose temperature, and he agreed it was pretty cold.

This wouldn't be so weird were I not wearing my Quokka Oodie which is unbelievably toasty. I'm warm everywhere except my nose. Obviously now I'm looking at a gazillion side effects but nothing obvious is coming up. Maybe I'm just meant to have a cold nose. 

The side effect (which dates back to the craniotomy in October 2022) where my nose runs when I eat is still there. I think that's one I'm stuck with, alas. 

But it does make me wonder if the two things could be related in some way. 

Revisiting the old Runny Nose thing

This hasn't gone away. Every time I eat my nose runs. It started after the operation and was something I hoped would move on eventually, but no, it's quite happy sticking around. In most cases I can deal with it, however, there was one occasion which threw me - though was resolvable. 

Back at the start of the year we went for lunch at The Clink at the prison near the hospital. There's a strict list of things that you can't take in with you - from the obvious (phones) to the lesser obvious (tissues). After chatting with staff at the restaurant it was obvious why - you could smuggle in drugs on a tissue for an inmate who is working at the Clink. Whether you would or not is by the by - it could happen, so you don't get to take in tissues. 

However, all is not lost as The Clink has toilets next to the dining area, so you can get your loo roll which works just as fine, it just isn't as soft. 

The annoying thing about my nose is I can eat the mildest of foods and it happens, the spiciest of foods and it happens - so I'm resigned to this being something I'm stuck with unless my head decides to find a new pathway to fix runny noses.
