I have decided to give my ear another chance. I know, I know, I have such a good heart. Today, I attempted to go to work. I made it through one class before I got sick. It was stupidity on my part. It's been so long since I've taken antibiotics, I forgot that you can't take the medicine on an empty stomach. And that's exactly what I did. The primary school director and the director of the entire school both sent me home and insisted on it. I kept telling them I was fine and that I don't like going home sick, but they left me no choice. Told me to rest over the next four days. I obliged. I wish I could say I came home and fell asleep, but no such luck.
For those of you that have not been fortunate enough to experience an ear infection, a fluid comes out of your ear if you have ruptured your eardrum. (I read it online. You can practically diagnose yourself nowadays!) Anyways, the entire morning and afternoon, I had to listen to my ear rid itself of this fluid. It was gross to look at, but kinda cool to hear. I can already tell a huge difference in the amount of pain. It's taken so much pressure off of my ear! I'm glad that antibiotic worked so quickly!
I did absolutely nothing all day today. I only dozed off once, for about thirty minutes. I heard the kids arrive home, so I woke up. We ended up watching the movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in Spanish. It was fun to watch. I had not seen the movie in forever!
If I had to get sick, I couldn't have picked a better weekend. I have all day tomorrow and Sunday, Monday morning, and all day Tuesday to relax! (And study, of course!) I keep looking at my pile of books sitting on my desk. I think I will wait at least until Sunday to pick them up! The good thing about my test on Monday is that it's open-notes, so I won't have to go through excruciating lengths to study and prepare. I already know what's going to be on the test as well, so I just need to go thorugh my notes and highlight some things.
I think I am starting a new fashion trend with this cotton ball hanging out of my ear. The kids tonight thought it was very cool! :)

Any idea what caused it? When we were kids and had ear aches my Dad who never really smoked would light up a cigar and gently blow smoke into the infected ear.I don't know why or how but the warth of the smoke eased the pain and really it stopped hurting.
ReplyDeleteThat's weird! Maybe that's why Mimi told me to put heat on it!
