Have you heard about the conspiracy between the nose and the mouth? They’ve got us all breathing!

I have a brief story. In November I invited a former neighbor to move in with me for 6 months while he works here locally as a tax preparer. After finding out he was watching me sleep, I decided he had to leave for obvious reasons. However, he did mention I was breathing with my mouth open, and suggested I put a piece of tape over my mouth. I was not snoring, but did mention it to my doctor. A recent CT scan revealed a deviated septum on the left side, which explains my breathing "method." I will soon be seeing an ENT specialist to discuss surgery. So while the guy was a creep, I did learn something new and why I keep getting these chronic sinus infections. I suppose I should thank the guy for telling me what I was doing while asleep, but I will not because god only knows what he was doing while watching me sleep, and on multiple occasions. I did not sleep for the entire three weeks after he told me this and finally he left after I told him if he wanted to stay he had to wear a mask, which I knew he would not because he did not believe in viruses. When I asked him to wash his hands when he came inside, he told me I was germaphobic. I told him I had to be careful because I have no immune system, and therefore hand washing was important and simply basic hygiene. And while he claimed not to believe in science or medicine, I found a bottle of Viagra on the floor in my bedroom after he left. Go figure.
