I sure hope that you're feeling better today, and you're quite welcome about my two cents of "I'm not a doctor, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night" medical artifice. LOL.
And I want to say that my father didn't feel any negligible added local pain with his inner ear infection, but about that part I'm not certain, gw.
Your "cold from hell" (I feel for you,) may very well have moved to your ear and reeked a little (fixable) havoc. LOL on your "NO GYRO" IFR.
But gw, I'll feel REAL bad if I'm all wet about it all...and you've gone to the doc today for naught, when you could be resting and recoup/re-cooping a little. I hope that your visit brings you answers and help toward good health, gw. Just be careful driving when you're wheels up to see the good doctor, and I'll hope that you don't have to wait forever for your name to be called, especially when you're feeling so danged punk.
Please feel better and let us know, OK?
Thank you for posting to me, gw. Nose up. Full throttle. ;-)
"Who is "Better" (and who is Punk for that matter!) and why do you hope gw is felling her butter Better than anybody else who gw chooses to feel batter?" Robt asks innocently.
Do you hope Mrsgw gets to feel Better too? Or does that somethong you'd rather not bring up in class in pubic? (Er, publick.)
A++. Better late than never!
