Im FINALLY home!
doctor appointment was at 2...got in about 3...out at 4! They were really backed up today and had one poor woman they sent to the ER for emergency admit to the hospital. Poor thing! Only one doctor on rotation with one PA too and by the time I got there they had already seen over 40 patients!
I still have the inner ear infection, definite fluid built up there. My lymph node under my ear is swollen. No fever and wbc is looking ok. Said ear looks icky...lol. Nice professional opinion there. Is concerned that levaquin hasnt eliminated the symptoms yet but doesnt want to change in mid stream.
Started me on nasonex and wanted to start me on zyrtex d but since that isnt covered by insurance and I am flat out broke, I am doing with with benadryl and sudafed. I already had those and dont know why it didnt occur to me to be taking at least the sudafed already. In my mind, an antihistamine and decongestant is a rose is a rose. Of course, finish the levaquin. If I dont feel any better by the time the levaquin is done, I am to call back. Hopefully with the two new things and the rest of the levaquin, this will turn around.
And maybe one day I will be able to hear again! You have no idea how bad Idol sounded last night with only one ear to hear!
