Miserable


I feel like crap. After two weeks, my cold is now getting worse instead of better. I have so much pressure in my head, I feel like both my ear drums are just going to pop right out of the sides of my head any minute. I created this picture of me with a huge head to illustrate how I feel right now. I called the University Health Center to see if they were open (spring break). They were, but they didn't have anyone who could write me a prescription, so they suggested I try an urgent care center. So I drove half way across town to a center Miguel had tried once before. They weren't taking walk-ups, and they're closed tomorrow, just like the health center. I drove to another urgent care center. There wasn't even room in the parking lot. I can't image how long of a wait I could expect once inside the building. So I gave up and came home to see if I can sleep it off. But before I can get any sleep, I have to pump milk to make sure I don't lose my milk supply for Leyla. I lost it when Chloe was right at the age Leyla's at, so I want to be extra careful. But I think I'm about done now, so hopefully I can get some sleep.

When I was at CU there was one night (I think over a weekend) that I had earaches in both ears. It felt like someone was jamming ice picks in both ears all night. I went to the health center the next day or something. They looked in my ear and said I had hole in my ear drums and gave me some antibiotics to take. I had the blown speaker muffled ear thing for a week or two before they finally popped and I could hear normal again. That sucked. But ya, call Rick if you can't get into anyone there, it could probably cause permanent damage if it got too bad. I know that because I'm a doctor and everything...

I concur with Dr. Hector. Call Rick if you can't get into someone. You definitely don't want the ole exploding eardrum scenario. Sorry you're feeling so miserable :(

I've been wanting to see what your new hairdo looked like. Even with the bloated head I LOVE your new haircut. It really flatters your face and looks fun! Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It really sucks when your ears are clogged like that and your head feels like it is going to explode!
