Last weekend we drove down to Portland for a family reunion of the paternal side of my husband's family (not to be mistaken with the yearly reunion of the maternal side of the family which is happening in 2 weeks). We never eat fast food except for these odd road trips and this was no exception. We stopped at Burgerville and took our food to go. As usual they gave us a lot of extra napkins. Unusual for me, I tucked the extra napkins in the glove box thinking, "I have no idea when I might use these, but they might come in handy."
Fast forward to today. I have been suffering from a nasty sinus infection (goddamn sinusitis) and blowing my nose a lot. I am at that stage where I am mostly cleared up, but one point during the day need a hearty blow. So I was at that stage today. I got out one of those miracle napkins and cleared out my sinuses. Then about 2 minutes later I felt all congested again. Before I could blow my nose again, blood just poured out. Try driving and shifting with that going on. Not just some weak trickle, either, full on river o'blood. Pretty much I bled through all the napkins in the car. I was very glad for them being there, but afterwards didn't really know what to do with them.
My questions is, if I hadn't had those napkins would there have been no bloody nose today?
