On The Mend Slowly But Surely

Visited the ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) Specialist yesterday re my middle ear infection. He said he had seen a few of 'these' recently.

He cleaned things up for me, put some anti-biotic cream on any infected parts and sent me on my way. 15 minutes work and a bill for $190! He also gave me some anti-nausea tablets as I still get a little dizzy if I stand quickly or move my head around. He forecast that I would be much better in the the next couple of days.

Typing this out on the computer isn't too good as I have to raise and lower my head from the keyboard.

It appears the reason I was physically ill the other day was a result of getting 'car sick'. He believed I would only need to be on the anti nausea tablets for a couple of days. I still have heaps of anti-biotic tablets to go. I am slowly getting off the "Cold Tablets'.

However if I try to do too much I feel pretty uncomfortable from the dizziness so it is slow and easy as you go.

I have contacted friends Janet and Mick who are visiting the area from Newcastle. They will stay with us overnight tonight.

In this part of the world one of the biggest sporting events is the State Of Origin Rugby League series. Game 1 is on this evening so we will all sit down together and watch the game on TV.

They will head off for the Gold Coast tomorrow morning where they have a booking for a week.

A cold blustery s/w wind and an expected top of low 20's. It is only pleasant outside if you can get out of the wind! A cool 9 degrees is forecast for overnight.

Trish is at Stitchers this morning so I sent her a text message saying the visitors were arriving later on today.
