So following two very uncomfortable nights where I didn’t get to sleep until well into the next morning coupled with the fact that I needed a note to excuse me from work meant that I was seeing my GP again today.

I came away with ear spray, more painkillers and that’s right – my ninth course of antibiotics for 2007! She suspects I have an ear infection and that’s why I’m in so much pain.

Note excuses me for a month starting from the 2nd. Not sure if that puts us at the 30th or the 6th. We’ll see how we feel I guess.

Nothing else new to report really; still in pain, still deaf, still grumpy and still ill.
