Day 6!!
Man, today sucked!!! I woke up in extreme pain. I grabbed my phone and instantly called the father of my kids (who has been helping me this last week) to find out where he was in complete tears.
My throat felt tight and like it was on fire, my ears felt like they were on fire & like someone was stabbing them with a knife at the same time. I also got a gigantic headache on top of it to boot. It really really sucked.
I took as many sips of my ice cold water as I could humanly withstand but it barely helped anything. I managed to get down some pain meds and I dialed my ENT and was told everything I'm experiencing is completely normal. He called me in some different meds.
When Andrew got home he got my heating pad out & an ice pack. I put the ice pack on my left ear & the heating pad on the back of my neck. It helped a little. I laid my head on Andy's chest and between the drugs and everything else I got a little relieve. A few times I started to cry because I was so frustrated from the ear pain.
In my previous updates I kept saying I knew it could get worse and was prepared but honestly I wasn't. This sucks and I pray it doesn't get much worse because I don't know how much more I can take. I'm hungry but I can't eat, I'm exhausted but I can't sleep, I'm in pain and my meds are only taking the edge off now.
Ugh, screw you day 6!!!
