Ear Ache Update and Self-Quarantine

Tweet

In a previous post I mentioned an ear ache that I have had to an ear that is particularly sensitive as it is scarred from an ear drum breakage caused by my EX over 30 years ago. I went to the clinic, which was closed, but the pharmacist put me online with a doctor who prescribed antibiotics and told me to come back if it was still bothering me and they would refer me to an ENT. So, I finished the antibiotics but my ear still bothers me now and again. I didn't know what to do. Call my family doctor who is an hour away, or go back to the clinic/pharmacy? I called my doctor's office this morning. The receptionist asked if I would like to speak to the doctor on the phone. I said, "If he'll do that, yes." She said that is the way they are doing most of their appointments, over the phone. Makes sense. So he will call me tomorrow morning, bright and early and we'll go from there. I have been out to the stores, which I shouldn't because I am immune compromised, but I'm still looking for sandwich bread and now running low on other stuff. My daughters are bored being locked up in the house and my younger daughter expressed concern over me going out into the public (sweet girl), so they have gone shopping for me. In the meantime, I am going to get back on the treadmill today in hopes that it will ease my painful sciatica since I can't go for a massage. Hope everyone else is doing well.
