What a crappy last Week

As some of you might know, I severely suffer from Sinusitis. This is not a fun thing for me. At first it starts like a common cold, but then it progresses to extreme factors. First I lose appetite, I get lethargic, and all I ever want to do is sleep. This all started for me on wonderful last Monday afternoon, when I broke into a fever. At least Monday night sometime Tuesday Morning I broke this fever and thought that maybe I just had a 24 hour bug. Tuesday day went I didn't realize until Wednesday morning of what I had again. Because my nose during Sinusitis really refuses to breathe right at night I sleep like a fish, with my mouth wide open. Thats where the trouble comes in. So Wednesday I wake up with a wonderful sore throat and hacking up junk like crazy. And now my eyes are itchy and watery too. I now catch on oh no Sinusitis is back and beating me down again. So I go to work all miserable and try to do my best there, I get home and wow I am just beat.. I go to bed at 6:30 pm. Now the real fun all begins the next day I wake up... oh yeah the real fun. Anytime good ol' Ming decides to get a Sinus infection, guess what I get a Killer ear ache in my left ear. (History, I had tubes in my ears till I was 15. They didn't like to drain properly). Well I know the onset of major pain is incoming just don't know when. My ear is plugged all day and I feel like a deaf man, because I can only hear out of my right ear. And I pick up a new saying, "I'm sorry can you repeat what you said." and then I twist my good ear to them heh. Well Friday night a little after midnight, I start to feel immense pain. Like level 4 on the smiley face scale. I mean it is terrible pain, Every time my heart beat I could feel my eardrum wanting to explode. I have had this happen a few times in my life and I don't like it. I finally find my eardrops around 2am and then put the drops in and then around 5am the pain finally goes away. Now I have big cotton ball sticking out of my ear. So I have been in that last stage for Saturday and Sunday and now onto Monday. I wish my hearing would come back, I wish this stinking sinusitis would go away.

But good thing is sinusitis is allergy driven and therefore I am not contageous to the family. They all are living life like nothing is wrong, while poor dad gets periodic moments of extreme pain in his ear. But such is life.... Lets just hope it gets better soon. (Avg time this last for me is 5-7 weeks... yay me).
