I know that ear infections are minor but it annoys me. I went to school today and my teacher kept pacing back and forth. I kept turning around to try to keep him on the side that I can hear out of but he kept pacing and other students were making comments about what we were discussing. I had a terrible time keeping track of the conversation and zoned out at times. I am starting to feel like I take too many drugs. I hadn't taken a prescription drug in years until last year when I started an anti-depressant. Now, I have to try to swallow a big antibiotic twice a day. My cat and I make a good pair. She gets insulin twice a day and I pop an anti-depressant once a day and an antibiotic twice a day. I hope that I will be able to hear out of my left ear when I get rid of the infection. I am sick of the ringing in my ear.
I know that I am over reacting, but there are other things to do with work, crappy income and insurance on my mind. Can't I just worry about those things without having to blow more money on an ear infection?

Hey ((((((((((Hopefull)))))))))))))

You are perfectly allowed to complain about an ear infection. They hurt, they're annoying and you can't hear as well with one!

I've only developped ear infections in the past two years, and I've already had 4 (I think) of them.

Hope it clears up soon.

My ears never hurt. I just can't hear out of it. As for ear tubes, my mom wrote ear tubes and then listed a series of years. The list was longer than the line! I think they seemed to like sticking ear tubes in my ears for some odd reason. I must have had ear infections all the time as a kid and have not had many after that. I sometimes wonder if that is because I don't recognize it as a reason to see a doctor unless it hurts or I can't hear out of it.

Now, I have a cold. My nose is runny, my sinuses seem to be full of something and my snot just loves to drain. I am living like a cat today (eat, sleep and laze around). I cough is less annoying today. I woke up this morning and got a second blanket because I felt cold. I think it was a fever. I can seem to stop having little problems. I hope I can get myself well so that I can go look for work before my health insurance goes "bye bye!"
On a brighter note, I haven't cried in 5 days although today I spent sleeping for half the day. If I can go for a sixth day without crying, I will have set a record for the year of March 2006 to May 2007! I am hoping to be able to not cry for a whole week. HEHE! I would call T and leave a rather happy little celebratory message.
