This last weekend, I accompanied two other soldiers from my unit and flew to Minneapolis. After enjoying free snacks in the lobby area of the finest hotel I have ever stayed in, we also enjoyed going to another Hard Rock Cafe location downtown and an evening spent previewing the Mall of America as it was closing for the evening.
The next day we went to Hammond, Wisconsin, where we played in two ceremonies, at some cheese in America's Dairyland state, and got to hear the locals say "Wiscaansin." Afterwards we ate an early dinner in the Mall of American and then flew home. Unfortunately, we never got to hear the famed Minnesotan accent.
During the connection flight to Eugene on the way home, I started to get a terrible headache right above my right eyebrow which only seemed to hurt worse the lower we descended, quickly becoming the worst headache of my life. I have experienced this before, but the last time, also a small connection flight, the headache went away. This time, it did not, and an hour later I found myself in the Corvallis Emergency Room where the doctor explained to me that my sinus probably is a little bit more sensitive in how it is built, and flying in the poorly pressurized connection flights two days in a row was too much for me. He gave me some Oxycodine and nasal spray, and since then the pressure in my head has lessened, and hopefully it will be gone tomorrow. He told me that I may just need to use some nasal spray before I fly in the future.
