I've got a sinus infection

Yeah, the reason I've been m.i.a. for a while is that I've been sick. :( I came down with a really bad chest cough 11 days ago. Then it moved up to my head, and I've been really congested ever since. Last weekend, it got really bad, and the pressure was so intense that I thought my head was going to explode. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I've been in such pain. It was terrible.

After googling my symptoms (which include toothaches--my molars are incredibly sore, and I can hardly chew on one side), I was 99% sure that I had a sinus infection. I couldn't get in to see the doctor until today, and she confirmed my self-diagnosis. I'm now on the Z-pack antibiotics and I also bought a neti pot, though I haven't used it yet. I'm still a little intimidated by it. :)
