I’ve been home ill since Monday afternoon. Today is the first day I’ve been able to function somewhat normally. I’ve got an ear infection that won’t let up (had it before we went to NOLA, and the medication just didn’t get rid of it) and have just wanted to drive an ice pick into the side of my head to make the pain stop. Hopefully this round of medication will do the trick. Then I’ve got to go to a specialist to find out why I keep having the reoccurring earaches.
