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...

Status Update and more info on KBP Radio

First off, my infection has spread to my other ear. I am on antibiotics and the right ear is getting better, but the left ear seems to have gotten worse for a spell and is now just being a general pain in the ass. I am in a lot of pain and sometimes even the vicodin is not enough to do more than just take the edge off. I'm hoping to be back on my feet by this weekend, but it's not looking good... Thanks to everyone that has sent me well wishes.

Second off, I wanted to start sharing some details about the music show I mentioned earlier. Everyone I have shared it with thinks it might be fun and right now I am trying to talk Ryan into being involved some.

Basically, I have been listening to KEXP (thanks Ed) and my childhood dream of being a DJ has kind of snuck back up on me. What I am looking to do is a 30-60 minute show where I play music and just talk a little bit between ever few songs. Nothing special, just a radio broadcast with maybe a weekly theme or a common tone. Each show would only have one host, but I would like to get Ryan to share hosting duties with me. I am currently fellating him in attempts to get him to do it at least from time to time.

This show would be rather independent of Kneel Before Pod, but would never take priority over it. So you'll never have to worry about this causing you to miss out on an episode of KBP.

So that's it in a nutshell.

and one more thing!

What's awesome?

Vicodin. Vicodin is awesome. I have been sick for a couple days and it has all been capped off by a bleeding ear infection that even made the doctor looking at it cringe. I was in a lot of pain. Now I am not. God bless vicodin.
