Welp I had an interesting day. I've been dealing with a head cold for the past couple of days that steadily got worse and no OTC meds were helping. By 10:30 this morning my right ear decided to go completely deaf. Despite a hot shower and a heating pad nothing helped. So I called the DR *just in case* for an appointment. By 11:30 my ear started hurting. By the time my appointment at 1:15 I was doing all I could not to drop to my knees and bawl in complete surredner of pain. Come to find out I have a nasty ear infection, had to get a shot of steroids (first time ever getting a shot in my ***** and I'm now on so many medications to help battle the infection and ease the pain that I'm not allowed 10 yards near a vehicle and make the Pharmaceutical companies jealous of my stash.
It took until 4:30 for the pain to even dim enough for me to unclench my entire body, and finally by almost 6pm the pain is now gone, unless I hiccup. I get to be a druggie for the next few days wheeee! If I hadnt gone into the Drs though this would have definitely turned into an ER visit. The pain was
that bad.
