Another visit to Urgent Care

The cough is still hanging on but I feel a bit better this week than I did last weekend especially. Last Saturday I spent 4 hours asleep in bed instead of watching conference. Thankfully, I can read all of the talks online now and will get the new issue of the Ensign soon.

Friday my right ear started to hurt. This is the ear that I have had 11 sets of tubes, one major ear reconstruction (read: new eardrum) and a hole in said ear drum. So when it hurts I don't mess around.

Saturday after work I went to the urgent care at Kaiser. I was only there for and hour and 45 minutes including the pharmacy so it wasn't too bad. I have, guess what, an ear infection. And I'm flying to SLC on Monday. THANKFULLY I got some antibiotics so maybe I will feel better.

Part of my conversation with the dr didn't make me feel any better however.

Dr: When you're in the airplane, your eardrum might explode but its really nothing to worry about. It will heal itself in 1-2 weeks but if that happens be sure to come back and see us.

Definitely I am worried about that. I guess I'll be chewing LOTS of gum.

I get to teach Gospel Doctrine today and for some reason I am nervous. What's up with that?

Get some of that bubbalicious stuff so you can have lots of sugary saliva. It might help you swallow more. And give you a fun sugar rush too!

Are you here yet? (And by here I really mean there, since I'm not technically in SLC. Whatever.) I hope you made it all right, all ear drums intact. You're in my prayers! And I can't wait to see you in a few days! Wheeeee! :-)

Stupid doctors. They shouldn't scare you like that. It does look like you are falling apart though. I'm sure you will be awsome teaching Gospel doctrine. You rock.
