Mucas is like a banana

*warning, below post is ranty and slightly sarcastic*

When its green its irrellevant, but when it turns yellow you know its good to go... seriously tho, yesterday I was hacking up flourecent green mucas, but apparently thats not a problem. Today it was yellow, so off to walk in I went. Actually, that and the inability to hear out of my left ear, AND the feeling of the infection crawling into my right ear were also good incentives to hit up the walk in. So now I"m on Ammoxicilin. The type of pennicilin I am on most often. In fact this will be the 5th time in 12 months i've been on penicilin!! I"VE HAD ENOUGH OF PENICILIN!! Also, wahts with Dr's. So I go to the walk in today. He asks a bunch of questions, looks down my throat, in my left ear, says "oh my, this is bad" looks in my right ear, listens to my heart and breathing, asks abuot penicilin allergies which I tell him I have none but HAVE been on penicilin 4 times already in the past 12 months, he writes out a prescription and goes to leave. But whats missing from this... oh I know, WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?!!!? I had to stop him and ask. Only then did he tell me I may have STREP THROAT, or just an infection, the 10 day prescription should clear it up. Thanks. Thats it. Doesn't even MENTION my ears. I hate Dr's. And my right ear is throbbing and I have no hearing in the left at all. Hurrah. OH! AND, i called in sick to work today. I HATE calling in sick. Hopefully I"ll make it tomorrow. Since I have the night off tho, I should take advantage and go to bed. *hugs* to all of you in blogger land.

I know what it feels like to be sick all the time, but you'll have a much easier time with it if you don't try to butt-heads with the idea that you need to be on medication.

The reason he didn't mention your ears is that ears, nose and throat are all connected tubes, so if you're throat is sore, infection will logically spread to ears. Bed rest is great, and remember, if you're drinking, you'll get pissed way easier and it will render your antibiotics useless.

I will call you soon and see how you are doing.
