Still sick

Well, I am now starting my 3rd week of this double ear infection. I can’t even describe how horrible this is. I have lost 2 full weeks of my life as I have been in a haze of decongestants and pain killers, just forcing myself through the motions to get through work and then collapsing on the couch with the heating pad. I have slept one full night out of these two weeks, which has suddenly reminded me what it was like to have a baby.

What really sucks is that we have absolutely GORGEOUS weather these past 2 weeks. Almost feels like October out there. Yesterday morning I basically said “F*ck it!” and went for a 2 mile hike. I couldn’t take it anymore. Big mistake. I was moaning by the time I got back to my car. I don’t know if the hike jarred things up in there, or if there was just enough wind to aggravate it, or what. But I couldn’t function the rest of the day.

Sooo I have an appointment to see an ENT specialist tomorrow morning. I’m pretty sure he’s going to want to put tubes in.

I don’t mean to sound like a whiny baby and go on and on about this illness thing. I just want you all to know where I’ve been, and why I haven’t been checking in. I have been thinking about you all though, and wanting to touch base to see what everyone’s up to. If you think about it, please light a candle, send some positive energy toward Ohio, say a prayer, burn some incense, cast out the ear demon, whatever else you think might work… I’d appreciate it. :-)
