Still being tortured with this stupid sinus illness. I haven’t been able to get my prescriptions yet thanx to being new on my healthcare plan. Looks like I’ll be waiting until tonight to get them. Lucky for me there is a 24hr pharmacy in town. Head is just pounding from sinus pain and I have no appetite at all. At least my ear isn’t hurting that much anymore. I think the drive up and down the hill is doing a number on my eardrums though. Still have the ringing in my ears. I think I’m going to cancel my evening plans for tonight and just go home and rest. I hate to do it as it will put a lot of people off but too bad. I have to be healty if I’m going to do anything for anyone in the future! As it turns out, almost the entire office got sick this past week. There was already another guy out when I cam in yesterday afternoon -and the office manager left early feeling not so good.
I ordered a 15″ LCD screen from eBay for $12 that came last night. I guess I didn’t read all the info on the listing. I did see that it said it had a “cracked screen” but it also said “unit is in excellent condition”. I guess I also missed seeing that it was being sold “as-is”. The biggest clue was that it was suggested as a great unit “for parts”. I’m such an idiot. With shipping I think I spent around $35 for a dead monitor. It does have built in speakers and a USB hub. I think I’ll research to see if I can replace the screen for a reasonable price… ‘kinda knew I was taking a risk when I got it though…
I guess I’m just worried that I’ll never be well. I know it’s stupid but I’ve had sinus problems for pretty much my entire adult life -from Chicago, to Florida, to California. No one has been able to help me permanently and drugs just seem to work for the first two doses. I have a $700 air cleaner in my home, AC to keep the temp good without using a lot of the dusty outside air, I am pretty good about blowing my nose and keeping my sinuses clear of most of the crap, but nothing seems to work. Allergy tests in the past were inconclusive. They did find that I was allergic to some forms of plant life but no one could tell me what they were (meaning they weren’t that popular of a species either). I just don’t know what I’m going to do now…
