I've had this wad of snot wedged in the back of my nostril for days, quite possibly a week. It was like stuck behind the bone. I don't know. I've been blowing my nose so hard making myself dizzy trying to lodge that sucker. At night it's hard to breathe because it rattles around in my nose and blocks my breathing passage. Well, tonight after some blowing and then pulling and tugging I finally got it out. Ahhhhhh! Feel so much better.
