I had to have some kind of nasal tube inserted before, but they couldn't because one of my nostrils is partially blocked by bone. Of course, they just tried pushing the tube in harder, not the wisest move! The biggest problem is - I can never remember which nostril is the blocked one, so have to go through the same process each time. Really hope I don't have to go through this test.

He has a friend whose wife tested positive (40s). The day after the positive result, yer man is onto my buddy wanting to know if he can call in for a few beers!! Some friend!
