It’s Olof’s birthday today, and this is how he celebrated, at the kids’ activity table in the local emergency room. Nothing to worry about, everything’s fine, but I’ve been having some ice pick headaches around my operated ear and then started getting a little strange feeling in the ear itself, so I decided I should go in to have it checked. Apparently time is really of the essence if I should get an infection and losing my hearing on that side would absolutely suck, so we figured we’d best play it safe.
It’s all good news, though — the eardrum looks good and I got some painkillers/anti-inflammatories to help with the headaches and discomfort. I go back down to Umeå on Tuesday to see the surgeon for another follow-up, and I’m hoping to get the all-clear then!
What a man! Tell him I said happy birthday!
Hope you are feeling better.
You’re worth it, Beverly! Any man worth his salt would sit in the casualty for days waiting for you! Happy belated birthday to your hubby! You can celebrate today instead since it’s a holiday!
