Still sick

[tinkpixie0621]

Went back to the doctor this morning...got different antibiotics and eardrops. Hopefully they will work this time. Dr. was even nice enough to give me her personal voice mail number in case I hadn't gotten any better in 14 days.

Being a singer and musician, and having stopped up ears is terrible. I spent the whole weekend at GARF in fear of being completely out of pitch with my bandmates. No one threw any rotten fruit, though, so I guess I was okay. Thank goodness for muscle memory! I'm hoping I can hear better for this coming weekend. C'mon, antibiotics, do your stuff!

Rivka and I will be doing the "Half Ale" thing this Saturday, so yamguitar can get to see elliedee graduate. Congratulations to elliedee, by the way, and to Rivka, both of whom get their masters' degrees this month. (yamguitar and I will be "Half Ale" on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.) Kudos to both of you for all your hard work and dedication.

Work is boring and very slow today. Yesterday, I finished the project I was working on (still need to email it to the appropriate people) detailing the percentage of the house that is full on a given night of the week. (Yeah, exciting...) I've also updated the mailing list. I suppose I can catch up on (personal) email now. Ugh. I'm just still all stuffed in the head and don't feel like doing much of anything.

In good news...NEW LOST TONIGHT! Yippie!

In other good news, captnsparrow has the possibility of getting a REALLY COOL gig doing the Jack Sparrow thing. *crosses fingers*

I spent the whole weekend at GARF in fear of being completely out of pitch with my bandmates...

You sounded fine to me! :) I went for a guitar lesson on Monday and I had to tune my guitar three times throughout the lesson-- stupid ears all plugged... being sick sucks. *grr*

Oh, good...thanks. I figured Rivka or Dolph would tell me if I sounded totally awful.

Sorry that you're feeling my pain with the stuffed up ears. Suckiness! Get you some medicine and get better.

Wish I could help... being sick SUCKS! :(

[gypsyariana.livejournal.com]

Right back at ya. Hopefully we'll BOTH be better by the weekend.

I swear, with everybody else around me sick - I'm almost starting to feel bad that I'm not. I'm not even having that many problems with allergies this year (more rain=less pine). You sounded just fine...*rarely* did I notice anything even out of whack, and that would definitely be only because I've heard just about everything a gazzillion times! Feel better, you! *crosses fingers for Sparrow, too*

For those of us who are sick, enjoy the wellness you have! :)

TTTTTTHHHHHPPPPPPPPPPPPP on being sick!!!

If it's any consolation I thought you sounded great, and you harmonized with Rivka and yamguitar well (as usual! :)

Come on, White Blood Cells!! Kill the invaders!!!

[gypsyariana.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie!

White blood cells+good antibiotics hopefully will = me getting better.

You sounded fabulous as usual this weekend. If I had not already known about the sick issue, I would never have known.

Hope you are feeling better soon. When I am stuffed up I end up having to use a Vick's vaporizor when I sleep. It really seems to help clear stuff up. Also there are some really great bath salts at Harry's Market that work wonders for clearing things out for a time. *runs to the bathroom* Masada Mineral Herb Spa - Cold & Flu. It has Echinacea, goldenseal and eucalyptus in it. It helps a LOT with Kevin's sinus issues and even he can breath after just sniffing that stuff. When I have a cold or stuffiness I carry some around in a small plastic container for sniffing. If I am really really stuffed up, I add additional drops of eucalyptus plus some tea tree oil to help me breath.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, sweetie. I figured SOMEONE would have said something if I had been really off-pitch or out of tune.

The funny thing is, I usually have a terribly stuffed up nose this time of year, but my sinuses are fine. It's my ears. The left one is completely clogged and the right is about half.

However, next time my nose is the clogged bit of my head, I will definitely try those bath salts. I hate that I have to go on antibiotics, but I know how my body works, and I know they're the best bet for kicking this crap out of my system.

[psychemarlies.livejournal.com]

I was just posting (because I zoned and forgot to say) that the salts also help with ear infections. I get them often (hence why I can no longer sing... my ears are too damaged and I swear I sound like a cat in heat when I sing above a whisper). Something about those salts helps unplug ear issues for me. But then again, I am just odd like that. ;)

Nothing wrong with antibiotics if they are going to kick the evil infections in the arse!

[gypsyariana.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...I will have to try them then! :) There's a Harry's that's (sort of) on my way home...

Your sinuses are connected to your ears by way of a little tube that I can't rember the name of. It's designed to help keep equal air pressure in your ears and therfore keep your balance working right. I know this because when my allergies act up my sinuses get full And I basically go deaf. Might try something to decongest your head. better sooner than later, don't want to have the draining head all weekend.

And you sounded fine to me this weekend.

Hm. 'Sthat right? Now, I'm struck with the idea that the Eu... you-STAY-shun toob is some part of the female reproductive system, but I might be wrong... which means I'm right.

Thank god for all this education.

Vick's Vapo-Rub is my friend!!!! i will put it on my chest and throat and under my nose and then put a really light towel over my face while I sleep...

Can't wait to see you this weekend!

And your handsome Captain, too ;)

Re: Can't wait to see you this weekend!

[gypsyariana.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to seeing you too! :) You'll most likely be able to find us in the Brewer's Pub, or the Captain at the Pirate Ship.

[merciegrayhame.livejournal.com]

(((((Healing HUGS))))) Sure hope you get to feeling better.. However I thought you sounded good as always!

[gypsyariana.livejournal.com]

Thanks darlin'. Hope to see you this weekend.

How's the little one doing? Will we get to see her at all this season? If not, please give her big hugs from me.
