I feel like a child

I went to the Urgent Care place tonight. My ears were bothering me. My right ear kept making odd popping sounds all day and my left one just hurt. I knew that I had an ear infection. I wasn't prepared for having a double ear infection.

The doctor was amazed because she has never seen an ear infection in an adult. She only sees them in children. So yup my ears never grew up. It also appears that my left ear with the tube in it seems to have ruptured. It sounds scary, but I don't feel anything. The doctor just said that it looked black around the tube. Which only means that the dang thing tried to launch itself out of my ear and it did not succeed. Good thing for me, because I would have to go and get another tube put in.

I then went to Walmart to get my prescription filled and they proceeded to tell me that I do not have prescription coverage and had to pay full price for my meds. Instead of arguing with the dang technicians, she said I could have my prescription back and go to Meijer because it is free there. Well lets see...pay 22 dollars or nothing. Hmmmm...I choose nothing. I love Meijer! So now I have my horse pills and I am ready for bed. Nothing better than that!

Hearing is fun!

So I am typing this and I am hearing every key that I am typing. I am trying to be soft in typing because everything is just so dang loud. I guess that is a good thing though! Surgery went fine this morning. My mom picked me up at 6:45 and then we were off. We sat more in the waiting room than actually in surgery. I remember it being 8:15 and then the next thing I knew they were waking me up and it is 8:27. Gee whiz. The doctor talked to my mom and said this one should last and they are not planning to take this one out because of all of the problems I have had. My mom mentioned to the doctor that I was still upset because I was still paying for the first surgery. He said he would take care of that since the dang thing only lasted 4 1/2 months. Go mom! We will however see if he actually remembers to do this. So I am now taking it easy and very much so a lady of leisure today. I rented some movies last night because I knew I couldn't go anywhere today. I also have a list of things that Jay needs to do around the house because they said I need to take it easy. :-)

Stupid ear!

Since last Saturday my ear has been bothering me. Granted this is the ear that has always given me problems since I was young. I had a tube placed back into my ear in April and viola I can hear again! So when it started acting up again I blamed it on the weather because any little shift in the weather and my head goes crazy. Well a week later it is still the same and plus the dang tube fell out of my ear on Friday night. I am quite upset by this. It was not even in there five months and the one I had before was in for about 10 years! I am still paying for the dang surgery to put the blasted thing in! My father, the mechanic, offered to put it back in and explained that my brother, also a mechanic, is certified! How funny are they? So now I have fluid shloshing around in my ear everytime I turn my head. I told my hubby it sounds like I am a boat. So now I need to call the ear-nose-throat doctor and pray for an appointment because it takes about three months to be seen in this place. Maybe I will go to the urgent care center today and get something to clear up the fluid because I don't know how much more of this I can take!
