Say hello if you're online

the number of views compared to posts shows that lots of people pop in to look ( I know I do!), so here's your chance to say hello if you're lurking/browsing.

Hello!

[bitsnknots]

Thanks CG.  The doc I saw this morning told me that I could take ibuprofen as well as paracetamol.  If you shook me at the moment, I'd rattle.

ouchie  Books 

try having your pillow  higher /  bed head higher than  normal, not by much but it may well help with the throbbing

and with he painkillers dont take them  together take them at 2 or 3 hr intervals

so as one wears off the other kicks in

[**towery**]

chewing gum  can help ease ears pain a little

it stops you tensing up so much in the jaw area

[bitsnknots]

Thanks Towery.  I already do that with the painkillers but it is a good idea.  The other ideas you have come with - I'll give them a try.  Thanks again.

Poor you Chris...it's such a bleddy sore thing 

[bitsnknots]

It certainly is Merc.  I did manage to sleep from around 10.30 last night up to around 3.40 when I took some more painkillers.  I slept for a bit longer and then I was ready for climbing the wall again.  It's not too bad at the moment even though I still can't hear anything in the said ear.  I got up at around 6.40 and had my breakfast a little while later and got into bed again and I managed to sleep until 8.20 which can't be bad can it?  

Thanks again for all of your concern.  It is much appreciated.

Sorry to read you are in pain hope you feel better soon as the antis kick in 🙂 

[bitsnknots]

Thanks Von.  Hope that you are keeping well.

Im ok thanks Chris ,:) 

Ive not been about much due to us having had a house extension built  , we have now just about finished apart from the decoarting .

Of course the first room finished had to be my sewing room  

[bitsnknots]

Well, you've got to get your priorities right haven't you?

[bitsnknots]

I've got see my GP next Monday at 9.50 about my poorly ear.  The receptionist said that if it is still bad as the week goes on, ring up and they'll fit me in to see him sooner.  I think that I will be doing that as I had another night of crawling up the wall with the pain last night.  Oh stop moaning woman.  There's plenty worse than me.

Everyone's allowed to moan now and again, and especially with something like earache, it's awful.  It always seems worse when it's in the night too and everyone else is asleep and you feel so alone.

I feel for you Chris. 😞

I hope it starts to get better soon chuck. 

[bitsnknots]

Awww thanks CG.  That's lovely of you.

[merc1_clocks]

Chris...you never moan...I feel so sad for you 

[bitsnknots]

Awww thanks Merc.  Sending a jumbo hug back to ya.

[chickengrandma-2008]

How is it today Chris?  Did you sleep any better?

[bitsnknots]

Thanks for asking CG.  It feels a bit better today thank you and yes I did sleep a bit better.  At least I only woke up at 6 am as opposed to about 2 or 3 am.  

I had a phone call from the doctor's about an hour ago and I have to go for a blood test tomorrow so that the doctor can have the results back for when I go on Monday.  The tests just seem to be what I have had done before though so I don't think that it's in connection with my ear problem.   Anyway, we shall see.

[chickengrandma-2008]

That's good news Chris.  Let's hope it's better still tonight!

Best wishes.  😄

[bitsnknots]

Thanks a lot CG.  Just wish that I could hear properly in my left ear.  That's driving me mad.  It will be a blessing when all of this is over and done with.

Thanks again for your concern.

[merc1_clocks]

I'm glad to read it's slightly better Chris 

I think we should have a piccie of your mum...she is such a big part of FHG through you Chris.

What do you think?
