  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Well, seems while I was in Florida I picked up a nasty ear infection that will not go away. The Augmentin antibiotic pills and topical antibiotic drops did not work. Now has gotten worse and had to drive to the hospital Sunday night at 2am cause of the pain. The ER doctor gave me the topical again (cause I left at the office locked up over the weekend) and a couple perkoset (pain pill) to help me sleep and to help pain till can be seen during the work week. Today I visit regular internal medicine doctor. They flush out the ear of all the CRAP. Now the inner ear is filled with the infection so they give me stronger antibiotics and send me off the ENT specialists. They get in there and remove all the crap and tell me I now have a hole in my eardrum to boot! They give me stronger topical drops and a different pain type pill cause to boot. So the last week I have my equilibrium out of whack and the right ear can't hear shit.

I think all will be fine in a few days or a week. I am glad I got that off my chest. I look here and see JgButler with all the family and other people with FAR worse than I. It is all about perspective, makes my little ear almost trivial in the scope of things. My thoughts are off me and to his group to get well that is for sure. Thanks for letting me share.

Looks like I got a bunch of fluid in my ears from a cold/sinus thing. Threw my balance off a bit. On some drugs now to decongest me. Man was that a weird feeling.

Last visit over a week ago, the inner and outer ear infections and fungus is gone. BUT there is another hole in the eardrum and still does not feel right. Next visit is July 31st.

It threw off my equilibrium as well. For a little while, I was leaning when I walked and consequently I walked into things like walls, door, etc. Good luck Tom.

Ear infections SUCK! I had one a few years ago and I could hear everything in two different pitches and they weren't in harmony!!!
