evil ear infection

[katekat]

Cotton balls. My head is stuffed with cotton balls. I have two fears: ears and eyes.

Eyes are easy - I just can't watch anything done with someone else's eyes. No surgery, no poking, no weird flipping up of the eyelid. The easiest way to terrorize me is to pretend to poke your own eye. I shudder and shake and turn away.

But ears - it's just the lack that makes me crazy. The wooly headed feeling, the muffled sounds. I want to climb the walls and all I hear is the echo of my own voice. It's not pretty. I wasn't meant to live inside my head like this.

So I do everything and anything to avoid ear problems. And now I've got one. And I'm slowly going insane. 9:15 am is the dr's appointment, and then I'll hopefully get some relief.

did I tell you that when I was staying with you I had a sinus infection so bad I literally couldn't sleep for days?

It lasted about a month and I dont think I have ever had a greater pain in my life.

[katekat]

no, i'm not sure you did. although you were probably stoic and wouldn't have let me mom you even if you had mentioned it. i'm sorry if i sucked as a housemate and missed it.

Are you kidding?

dont be a dork.

You succored me in my time of need.

Stoicism is fine and good...but I was imposing enough.


I owe you a life debt. You know that. Plus....I'm not much with the drama, even though it felt like I was going to die.


So how's texas?

but I was imposing enough.
utter bullshit. not to be mushy (but i can if i want) you're a kindred soul. coudln't help but want to help. But whatever, i'm very glad you survived mostly intact.

texas?
other than the humidity, it kicks some serious ass. Course, could be that I love it simply because i'm actually back in classes, with all the learning and crap. Neil's happy too though - working from home is brilliant (besides he can play warcraft during the day). People here are different, but good. And it's not all redneck-y since it's Austin and liberal and the rest of texas hates us.

My son has that right now too. I hope that you get to feeling better I hate ear aches as much as I do tooth aches.

Hugs

I wonder if it's something in the air? Thanks though! i think all body pain should be outlawed.

*hugs* Being sick sucks. You know I know. Hope it improves quick.

[katekat]

thanks. it does. grrr. i want to pound my head into the desk in the hopes it'll break my ear open. but somehow, i know that's a bad idea. oh well, doctor in the morning.

Oh man. Ear infections're the pits.

(snuzzle) What did the doctor say?

[katekat]

yep, evil ears.

dr said i have a major blockage, and did the special ear cleaning stuff. lots of stuff in there *shudder*

i'm now waiting until the swelling goes down to see if i need antibiotics.

(wince) You'll be okay. The steps up to okay aren't exactly fun though. Bright side though; you have an engraved excuse to cuddle up in a chair by the window and relax for a few days.

(hug)

lol - you're right about that. i just hate the whole 'i can make my own echo' thingy. but it's getting better hour by hour.

chair? book? window? i'm acutally embarking on a belated spring cleaning. maybe summer cleaning is more appropriate.

thanks though, lady. hugs are always appreciated.
