Here's a problem I've never faced before: My left nostril is whistling. I've tried everything nasilly applicable, but I cannot remove what is a truly vociferous whistle. My dog, who accompanies me to work, is plainly perplexed as to what command I am trying to give her. She's apprehensively herding sheep and performing mid-grade aerobatics in an effort to satisfy her master's unfulfillable directions. Daft dog.
I first noticed it early this morning, when my nose was still entangled with the resultant residue from an overnight sabbatical from picking. In an effort to eradicate or at the very least reduce the noise, I had a good old clear out. A candid, no holds barred kinda clear out. I imagine it's a popular mistake with this kind of problem... All I achieved was a visably raw nose, a suspiciously tinted index finger, and an awesome acoustical projection for the whistle. Really, it's opened my malady to a much broader audience.
So where is there really left to go? What further measures can I invoke?.. Surgery?.. Amputation? And it's not like it's a something and nothing problem, this would have a major destructive effect on my social life. It wouldn't be the Animals Of Farthing Wood kind of accepted individuality. No no, this is the sort of thing divorces are made of. So? What should I do? I'd appreciate it if anyone nose.
