A Letter to Someone Important

Dear Sinuses,

I am so sorry that I never knew who you were, or how important you are to my daily functioning until last Saturday  night.  To be honest with you, I never really knew you were there, until I did something, which is still unknown, to make you so mad.  What did I do?  Was it the intense blowing that I did of my nose the week before you attacked me so viciously?  Or, was it the plane ride to and from NC?  Do you just not like plane rides?  Or was it the swim I took in the pool?  I even wore my earplugs for you, but maybe it upset you when I took them out for just a second, and then put my head under the water.  Whatever I did to upset you so, please do forgive me.  I never knew of your importance, and for that I am sorry.

I didn’t know that if you revolted against me, I would be confined to a chair for a week in a dark house.  I didn’t know that you could make my entire head feel as if it was going to completely pop off of my head.  I didn’t know that I could suffer from the absolute worst migraine ever for an ENTIRE FREAKING WEEK, if you chose to revolt.  My husband had no idea, either.  Did you know that for an entire week, he went to school, worked, took care of the kids, and kept the house clean?  You not only had complete control over me, but my husband as well.  Can I ask you a favor, Sinuses?  Please don’t do this to me again.  Especially when I am pregnant.  Thank you.  I promise to take the best care of you as possible from here on out.  You have earned my utmost respect and I am so thankful for the job you do for my body.

Yours Forever,

Lyra
