So at the end of my last update I said I needed to get better for the ice hockey on Sunday as I had been feeling a little ill... well... I sort of was, I had my voice almost back to normal, but I still had a bit of a gross cough, but I thought I was getting better (I will get onto the ice hockey shortly) well I went back to work on Monday (yesterday) and I had my back to work interview, again I was feeling fine, but still had a cough. Today I was on admin duty at work, its where we basically log the contract supports and then scan all the old files. During the scanning this afternoon my ear felt funny, and then all of a sudden I had a sharp stabbing pain in my ear, and it rapidly progressed to full out pain! As soon as work was over I was out the door and on the phone to the doctors trying to make an appointment, thankfully I’ve got in at 9am tomorrow morning, since getting home it’s gotten worse! My whole left cheek feels numb and it is so painful, when I sneeze, or cough (which happens a lot seeing as I still have my cough) a shot of pain starts in my ear and goes throughout my body, I’ve had to break one of my resolutions because of it, because the pain is so intense that it makes cry as I have no other way to let out the pain!
It’s very similar to the ear ache I suffered almost 2 years ago, again it started with just a normal sore throat and cough, and developed to an ear infection, which then spread to my other ear, which then gave me an eye infection, it went on for almost a month, and every time I went to the doctors they would prescribe me something, but nothing would ease the pain, or get rid of the infection, finally I was prescribed some ear drops and after a few days the infection cleared, hopefully I won’t have the same problem this time, and that they will just prescribe me the same medication as before, it worked then, surely it would work now? All will be discovered tomorrow!
Hopefully they will also provide me with a solution for work, as I'm on the phone almost constantly, with the way my headset is the ear piece is on the ear where I have the infection, however, if I have the head set the other way, then the pressure point thing, which keeps the headset on my head will be touching the infected area both resulting in pain, and not very good when you can’t hear a damn thing! I’ve already had two days off, and with the week I had to have off in December because of the swine flu, I can’t really afford to have any more time off! Hopefully the doctor will provide me with a handy way of working!
Sorry Ice hockey update will come shortly, I seriously just want to get to bed, and try and sleep, although I couldn’t sleep the last time I had this, but dammit I'm going to try!
Have you ever had an ear infection? Share your experiences with me!
Bye for now! X
P.S after the shit health I have recently been having and generally having a bad time, I came home from work and after crying to my dad, I opened my mail, oh what a lovely surprise, I had a delayed Valentine’s Day card, and letter off my friend in America, and inside were the most beautiful earrings I’ve ever seen... they can be seen here >>> http://twitpic.com/14ybh4 let me know what you think of them! The whole package really cheered me up and made my day! so THANK YOU
