Miscellaneous

So this morning I woke up feeling crappy.  Fearing I had the flu, I went to urgent care.  (And had, for once, great timing - only one person ahead of me.)  After an interminable wait in the exam room, the doctor came in, looked at my ears, and said, "You have a raging ear infection."  I blurted, "But I'm on amoxicillin!" (Remember the strep throat?)

Apparently I have an amoxicillin resistant infection raging in my ears.  More antibiotics later, and I am home.  I'm back to having extreme pain every time I swallow, but now it's in my ears instead of my throat. 

I give up.  Somebody wake me up when cold/flu season is over.
