Ear Nose & Throat (ENT)

Trish went around to the farewell function for friends Paul and Linda on Sunday afternoon. I just wasn't feeling up to it all with the prospect of standing around and chatting. I propped at home in front of the TV while Trish ventured out.

I returned to the E.N.T. specialist this afternoon and he said the middle ear infection is now gone and I can stop taking the anti-biotic. However my ear still doesn't seem to be hearing all that well as I remain stuffed up with the cold. It is now almost 2 weeks since I first noticed the onset of the cold and the sniffles should be all gone.

The E.N.T. guy put me on a steroid tablet and spray to clear the tubes out. We will see how it all goes.

So as you can probably gather I am getting on top of things as far as my medical stuff goes.

I spent some time today around at Paul & Linda sorting out any computer needs they still have prior to them leaving the area and heading back to South Africa. Paul has an old XP machine which I reformatted for him today. He isn't too sure what he will do with it but it is now 'clean' with just Office 2003 and an Anti-Virus program. It is ready for him to do whatever he wishes.

To thank us for our help over the last week or so Paul & Linda are taking us out for dinner tonight. It should be a lovely night! I am well enough to do this but alcohol won't be on the agenda for me just yet.
