YAH HAHAHAHA! 5 hrs in a busy emergency waiting room and i'm FREE!!! Free I tells ya! I've had a mild earache for 3 days or so but this morning it turned into something that i couldn't ignore. With a grumble it was off to the hospital. Busy emerg. too. Arghhh!! But at last I is freeee!!!

Doc said I had a bad ear infection and prescribed some anti-biotics. I'm not a 'pilly' but he also gave me a few Dilaudids.[?] An opiate of sorts. I took 2 as recommended and expect to be kinda giddy soon. Can't close my mouth fully so it's soup and a straw for supper...the guy said the infection was in full rage. I'd agree. It's down in my jaw and across my cheek...the tenderness anyway. Damn unpleasant day so far. Maybe it'll pick up when all those pills start bubbling away in my system. No sleep last nite either. I'm freakin' pooped. Friday 13th. The last 6 hrs of it should be 1/2 blissful. Yipee-ki-yo-ki-yay etc.
