home sick

[rivendellrose]

Home sick with icky ear thing still bothering me. It got a little better this morning, but I still want to hold out a few hours and see if I think I should go to the doctor. It doesn't actually hurt so much as half my head is full of sinus pressure and my neck is a bit tender/swollen. But I had some drainage (hello, TMI, sorry, but it's true) this morning, which is usually a good sign, and I feel significantly better... just not sure it'll last.

In the mean time, I'm trying not to feel too guilty about taking an impromptu day off. :P

When I was a kid and I had an earache, my mother would give me a piece of pure wool and have me hold it over my ear.

I don't know how, but it worked every time. I recently gave a friend this advice and it worked for her as well.

I hope you feel better soon. Those ear "things" can be annoying and distracting.

Interesting. I wonder if it's to do with the oils in wool? If I still lived in my old apartment I'd run out to the weaving-supply store and give it a shot. Sadly, where I'm at now, it'd take longer to get to someplace with pure wool than it would to get to the doctor. :P

Annoying and distracting is pretty much it, yeah. I was miserable yesterday, but today it's pretty much just... annoying. With luck the damned thing'll go away after today... and if not it's *definitely* doctor time. I'd just feel so silly going in if it feels like it's already on its way out on its own, you know?
