UGLY

Gripe: I've just called two physicians' groups here in Oswego, and one isn't accepting new patients at all, while the other couldn't give me an appointment (as a "new patient") before the weekend.

Another thing I've learned this week: when you blow your nose so much that your left eye feels like it's leaking air, it might be time to go to the doctor and get some real meds.

MORE: Brett Bellmore writes to tell me that I'm not broken; everybody's sinuses do have a pathway around the eyes that can leak air. . .
