Ick Update

Apparantly I a'm sufferring from infections of the inner and middle ears. [sarcasm] Oh, wet climates, It missed you SOOOOO MUCH! [/sarcasm]

ah well, got medication, so just gotta set up a time cycle for them and keep trucking through my days of work and nonconsecutive days off.

And just to note? I would rather be treated by a doctor who graduated at the middle to bottom of his or her class yet has at least been trained to be thorough in their patient interactions.

I have asthma and a FREAKING HEART MURMUr as standing medical conditions, but naw no doctor could POSSIBLY consider that when you say you have no allergies and try to sputter out your standing medical issues which make certain medications and proceadures riskier than possible alternatives.

*sigh* maybe I'll have a memoir, philosphy or lyrical entry after I get over the infections.

walk in beauty.

Well, the emotional irritation has pretty much burnt itself down to coals, so as long as I don't stir it up or feed it more kindling, that particular aspect has improved. I've been trying to go to sleep since 10:20pm and have been snagging maybe five to ten minutes at a time between the ears acting up (and I mean that kinda itchy, crawling sensation) or a clot of mucous thickenned saliva catches in my throat and I come up from my dozing with a lurch.

*lopsided smile* I'm very fortunate that tommarow is one of my days off so I can get away with this not sleeping stunt. Though I feel kinda bad that means I must abandon the arms of the cuddly Lord Lovely and invade the quiet of Lady Lovely's late nights. My voice is so rough and just about lost at the middle and upper registers that I am seriously considerring communicating with Lady Lovely by IM, even though that feels kinda silly when you are in the same room.

It seems the animals of the house cling to me even moreso when I'm not feeling well. Lady Lovely's three year old dauighter's tendancy to burble on (glorying in the ability to talk and focus the attention of the room on herself) She's hit the stage that, given that all three adults in her house have their own interests that tend to not invlove her, that she scrabbles for attention, turning almost every daily routine (bed time, going to daycare, eating meals) into a battle filled with excuses, stalling and tantrums. is more irritating than usual because certain sounds actually HURT right now.

So, i'll tool around the net or read my Mercedes Lackey novel and escape some of the sensation that way. Trying to sleep requires too much blocking out of surface distraction and too much tuning into my body to sink into sleep with all the pains and distractions together. i can sleep with the ache of bone and muscle, with fever and with chills. even with nausea... but this particular set of irritations I can't seem to subliminate.
