Health update

So, I went to the doctor again today. After 3 days of antibiotics, my health has not improved. In fact, it got worse. My ear infection, which was isolated in my right ear before, is now confirmed to have spread into both ears. My doctor gave me a different prescription for a more powerful antibiotic which I started today. He also gave me another script for vicodin, which means I now have enough to take it every 4 hours like I have been needing to lately.

I haven't been able to get much of anything done on my time off. With both ears being completely plugged, it's hard for me to watch TV without turning the home theater system up to eleven. I don't have the focus, strength or the will to play much more than simple little puzzle games. And you might as well forget music, yesterday everything sounded like a tremolo pedal.

I am honestly not sure when I am going to get back to work and I'm already in trouble for attendance. With a doctor's note I should be fine, but it's going to be rough. Not to mention I am now officially out of sick time. So I have already taken two full days without pay and any other days I miss will be out of pocket as well. Luckily, I am not hurting for money so this isn't an issue so much as an inconvenience. I'm hoping to get all rested up and ready for the Watchmen release this coming week. To say I'm excited is an understatement...
