Seeing an ENT is a good idea. But if you can't get in on short notice, you might go to an urgent care center ("doc in the box"). Practitioners at such places are used to seeing ear infections because children get them so often.
Hope it gets better SOON!
Thanks everyone! Within an hour of posting my plight, I felt relief. Your healing powers helped!
I had gone to an urgent care and have been taking an antibiotic, Claritin and Flonase. With that, and your help, I believe I'm well.
Just finished a 6 hour flight with no ear issues. Really amazing!
Art helps. I taught myself Mosaics this summer so I could make this. I call it Garden Path Guitar.
Gorgeous artwork, @ghandigirl! Are all of the mosaic pieces you've created in glass? I took a course in it a few years ago. Because I have RA in my hands, my biggest challenge was working with the glass cutter. You've just reminded me of my long desire to create a mosaic tabletop. Time to revisit that! Thank you.
@ghandigirl I am so sorry you are going through this. That's a full load! I'm sending you reiki and see you in the light of healing and love.
I am also going through estrangement with my daughter, and can attest to the pervasive impact that has on all parts of us. I'm one of the legion of parents suffering from this epidemic of no-contact children who often cannot or will not identify why they've made the choice they have. I had no idea this was so widespread until it happened to me. We were so close, and the shift in her was sudden and baffling (although it did coincide with a new romantic partner entering her life). I also had to walk away, since she doesn't want to work on the issue, only to blame. I pray that you find peace. If you ever want to talk about this, I'm here.
Regular mosaic tiles. I buy the irregular white ones and colored ones as well and use the white ones in all of my pieces. Nerve damaged right arm so haven't tried the cutters yet but might at some point. Tabletop sounds fun.
@ghandigirl love the mosaic guitar! Would you mind stringing it up and playing us a song on it?
@ghandigirl you know how when you play guitar in a tiled bathroom, and it sounds so much better? curious to see how it sounds when the guitar is tiled
