I M Feeling A Little Unwell Today

Over the last couple of days.. I've had a blocked feeling in my right ear...

This morning,, on advice from the medical helpline,, I purchased some ear drops to clear the build-up of wax in my ear....

Then.. Within a few moments,, the wax must have moved...because now I a totally deaf in one ear...

Totally...
If I put my finger into my good ear... I hear nothing at all.....

Its upsetting my balance..
And making me feel quite nauseous...

I again phoned the medical helpline...they said see your doctor within 12 hr.s.....

So I telephoned my doc...no appointments till late tomorrow morning...

And even then ..they can only examine my ear ... The nurse who does the ear cleaning wont be back for a few days...

So....I then went up to the local hospital....
Into the a&e dept...


After sitting there an hour or so...was seen by the triage nurse...who said...sorry...this isn't an accident or emergency
..go see your doctor...


Aggghhhhh

..

Then tried to phone work...that took me over 30 min to find a manager .. So I could tell them I wouldn't be in tonight...
I can't hear..
My balance is all shot...
I couldn't do my job properly..

Then had to phone mom
..tell her I wouldn't be round...
She understands...but if I don't go tomorrow...she will start to run low on food...
The doctor receptionist told me to ask a neighbour to go help mom...i said..she has no neighbours.. Nobody else helps her....
I just hope i am well enough to go to doc surgery tomorrow morning...
If its anything like the last time i had this...the dizzyness lasted several days.....
Couldn't even get out of bed...

Haven't got time to be ill...
To many people relying on me...

Try a few drops of warm olive oil Markie while you wait for medical assistance .. this has always been the recommendation from my doctor's surgery with any ear related problems ..

I've been to the docs this morning ..hes given me some ear spray...and I'm seeing the nurse for a good ole fashioned ear cleaning procedure on Monday...
Until then...only speak into my good ear...else I wont hear you ...hehe
