Alright. Here’s an update on the cosmic health joke that continues to be my life. Yes, I know. People have really serious health problems and in comparison mine are totally minor. But this is my blog, so I get to whine if I want to.
It appears I am not allowed to get anything simple without it morphing into something stupidly extreme. So, when I caught a cold, I was naively optimistic and thought that it would run the usual course that colds do. Snot. Sore throat. Cough. Done. Like I said, I was being a bit naive. I became congested. And of course, courtesy of Mr or Miss Fetus couldn’t take anything for it. So much pressure then built up in my head that I thought my face (including my teeth) might explode.
Ooh, but then something fun happened. I got an ear infection. How come no one tells you that this kiddie infection is so painful? My god! No wonder babies cry when they get these things. So the pressure in my head became so extreme that one of my eardrums actually ruptured. It’s just too disgusting to describe. Suffice it to say said description would involve bleeding and fluid drainage. Ugh. So now I am temporarily deaf in one ear. And just for funzies, lest I try to comfort myself with food, I haven’t been able to taste or smell anything for over a week.
Alright. Whining done. Maybe tomorrow I will tell you funny stories or write about a movie. Maybe.
Wow! Next time you are in the hospital, and I will assume the Alex because it is the most fun to be in, stop by unit 32 and say hi to me. Maybe Sam will come visit too, and we can have a party in orthopaedics.
Sorry to hear you are feeling so shitty.. get better soon!
