LA LA LAND

Okay today has been strange and "sporadic"...

I am still recovering from jaw surgery done in January... I developed an ear infection which can be a side effect since the jaw joint is so close to the ear. The swelling closed off the tube that allows the ear to drain fluids and thus the infection. After almost 3 weeks with this infection, I went to the Doctor again yesterday and on my way there is "burst" and finally started draining. The draining itself was not painful, although some blood had to be cleaned up, but it relieved some pressure. yeah! So, I am on an antibiotic, a steroid, and ear drops (again) to hopefully stop the infection from re-occurring.

So anyway... back to today...

I actually felt a bit better today when I got to work, people even noticed that I looked better and my "color" was better than it had been. I was doing good... still have to keep talking to a minimum and take it easy, but today I guess I over did it. I had to do some re-organizing and over did it physically. I started feeling nauseated and the side of my head starting pounding. I walked back to me office and started feeling a little dizzy. My boss looked at me and said I was white as a ghost. I kept trying to stick out the day. So I went to lunch... hopefully to feel better when I got back.

At lunch, I went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. I feel asleep in the waiting room (good thing I was the only one there). Then I went back to work... gone 30 minutes and still not feeling well. I made it another 2 1/2 hours and then had to come home.

I am glad I left when I did... when I got home, I got sick. Luckily I was able to take a Valium and keep it down. Still not feeling well, but at least the meds took some of the edge off. Strange thing is that I think part of why I feel so bad is all the meds I am taking... 8 different meds a day, not including the ones I take "as needed". Hopefully soon they will all be done with.

I see my surgeon again tomorrow, hopefully I am still showing improvement in my recovering. I can't wait until I feel 100% again.
