Ear infection

Not the sexiest of blog posts, I know, but that's me at the minute. The nurse I saw on Monday even couldn't see an infection but gave me an anti-inflammatory, anti bacterial ear drop thing anyway. Last night speaking to my doctor friend at home, she thought it might be a tooth problem. This morning and all day, I've had gunk coming out of my ear so the new diagnosis is burst abcess. yippee.

I've had two days off work and I'm going a bit crazy. Yesterday I slept all day when I wasn't groaning inagony on the couch. Today was much better. I'm still groaning with pain, but not agony. Plus i didn't sleep all day. I've actually been awake today and from about 3pm I was capable of being productive.

I can see the living room floor. I changed my bed (much needed after the lovely night sweats I've been having since the ear thing flared up). I've done two loads of laundry. I've folded and put away all my clean clothes. I've made up the spare room bed. I've caught up on one of my OU courses. I've hoovered the living room. I've bagged up the rubbish in most of the flat. I've cooked myself dinner. I've done the washing up. I feel pretty good about all that.

I've still got a manic headache and my ears aren't right yet, but I feel like I'm able to deal with things again. I found my anti depressants which had gone AWOL for a day or two so they're back in my system. Aim for the rest of tonight?

Make tomorrow's lunch.
Have a bath.
Lay out tomorrow's clothes.
Do at least two more exercises for the OU stuff.

That will be it. Plus the bath will help with the ears right? Heat will help draw out the infection. Plus it might help ease out more gunk - it's going all gooey and crackly as well. Sorry, TMI I know!! OK on to making tomorrow's lunch. I think I might to a packet risotto.........
