Sunday Morning--

     --All two minutes of it that are left as I sit down to type.

     I've been pretending for over a week now, hoping it'll clear up, but it hasn't: I'm still sick.  I haven't much energy, I get the dizzies and thundering headaches keep waking me up despite running right at the suggested non-prescription max on Vitamin I.  I'm either running a fever now or the furnace has turned itself up--

     It appears the inner-ear infection for which I sought treatment awhile back merely staged a retreat when I deployed the Z-pack and is presently on the offensive.  Well, count me offended.  I've had a bite to eat,* I'm headed to the shower and as soon as I'm decent, I'll be off to to the drive-through doc.  Geez.
___________________________
* Not too sick to cook, especially when I could cheat most of it: pork-fried "rice," thanks to a nicely-seasoned nuke-in-the-bag whole-grain mix, a fine chunk of slow-cooked deli pork roast in the fridge, an egg, a little bit of red bell pepper, some this and that from the spice cabinet (Oh, freeze-dried chives, the very Wonder Of The Age!) and a dollop of peri-peri sauce to finish -- ten minutes labor, tops, and enough left to freeze a container for tomorrow's lunch, too.

Hope you're able to kick this thing quickly. I understand how it feels to have the long lasting crud.

I are confuzzeled. "Drive - thru doc"? May be time to bite bullet and see REAL shaman, perhaps? Want you and roomie well, Bobbie!

They're real docs. They take off early on Sunday, though. :(

I hope you get it beat. Be sure to tell the doc you want the "Nuke it from orbit" option. I went in to PromptCare yesterday morning with a sinus infection that has been lingering on all fall and had finally flared up to the point that I thought I needed antibiotics.

Hope you get it knocked out this time!!!

Since it's the start of the heating season and you complain of headache and dizziness I have to ask: you do have Carbon Monoxide Detectors at the cottage, right? You've checked them or they are new, I hope? Just looking out for my free ice cream, as Tam puts it.

Roberta X said...

Yeah, yeah, yeah -- every year, someone asks me if we have a CO2 detector, and every year I run it awhile. Bloody thing is an excellent ham radio transmitter detector.

I suffer chronic inner-ear infections and migraines as a result of a series of stupid misadventures that are too dull and too obscure to explain, and it's all been fixed just as well as it can be and that's that.
