So, just after I've pretty much recovered, mentally, from me in hospital then FIL in hospital, and other Dealing With Shit... last sunday I started having an earache. It felt mostly outer ear, but my sinuses were weirdly clogged. So, since I was going to doctorville anyway for my regularly scheduled appt with the endocrinologist, I figured I'd see who else I could see.
Endo seemed not at all worried about the high numbers I had in the hospital. The test last week showed that the trend downward was still persistent. HOwever, it's been over 7 months and it's not come down all *that* significantly, and so he's put me on Victoza. Which is an injectable, and I got instructinos on how to inject it (it's got a pen injector, which is good), and is totally fucking piss me off why do I have to do this what the fuck is this shit my body is doing annoying.
So then I went down to my nominal doctor's office (i never see her, she's just on the list to fill the spot of 'primary care physician') and they didn't have any slots open, so I went to 'fast track' which is just the urgent care center 'cept you have an appointment rather than just waiting. I think I would have gotten seen faster if I'd been just waiting. :/ And so I have an ear infection, in the outer ear, whcih is making the area in front of the ear and around the TMJ swollen. Which means that's why chewing feels weird/wrong. ANd now I have ear drops, 4 in the ear 3 times a day, and I HATE FLUID IN MY EAR> I had problems passing swim tests cause I couldn't do a back float long enough cause weater woudl seep into my ears SLOW COLD AIGH Get it out!
My son has been announcing, "Hey mom, I'm here to torture you!"
It's mind boggling how much this is fucking with my mental processing. I can't concentrate on ANYTHING. If I have to plan or think, it's out the window. I"ve already had one migraine due to the sheer aggravation of FLUID IN MY EAR AAIIGGH.
I want less excitement, please. Soon.
