Fun With Infections

Last week I blogged about my doctor's visit. While I was there she noticed a slight infection in my left ear. I didn't mention this in the post below, because it seemed insignificant at the time.
Yesterday I spent 2& 1/4 hours at Urgent Care. The antibiotics I had taken for one week didn't work. The infection has spread down the ear canal to my throat. It's hard for me to tell when I have bad an internal infection because I don't get fevers. My normal body temp is 96.7. Even when I've had pneumonia I don't get a fever. When I had H1N1 last spring, I didn't get a fever. Now I have antibiotic ear drops plus a stronger oral antibiotic. I had a horrible night with fever like sweats, chills and ear pounding. And nightmares! Antibiotics give me horrible nightmares! My dream life is crucial to me. It has always guided me. When my daughters were young, my dreams always warned me if they were sick, or having problems. My dreams tell me before a friend or family member dies. They also tell me when there is a pleasant surprise just around the corner. I don't like having my dreams messed with, especially by drugs.
On a positive note, I did have a good time on Friday evening. Read about it on my other blog mythicmusing.
