Well, Covid is gone, but all the coughing up and stuff has seriously degraded my hearing. My right is so congested that it’s right up against my right eardrun. I was given three options

1) They poke a hole in my eardrum. Some of it drains out then. The rest drains out over some weeks through a little tube that gets left in my eardrum.

2) Surgery on my nose to correct a deviated septum. The deviated septum makes it difficult for junk in my ear canal to drain out through my nose or mouth.

3) Hope that two new medicines help drain my ear.

If not, back to options 1) and 2) which terrifies the hell out of me.

I’ve had something fairly wrong with me since late April and I don’t see when it’s going to end.

Sorry this is not a funny post

I took another Covid home test.

It was negative!

I’m going to verify that tomorrow with a Covid test at an urgent care center.

Please send kind thoughts and prayers.

For the first time in eleven days and that was to urgent care. I went to another urgent care a week before that. And a third urgent care a week before that. So you can see I’ve been living la dolce vita. According to the doctors I seen and talked to, it’s okay for me to go out. I still wore a mask the whole time.

I kicked up my heels and went to my discount supermarket. It did not go well. After having my items rung up, I discovered for the first time ever, I had not brought my wallet. So, I went home, got it, and paid for my groceries. I managed to put away the perishables. I then collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

I have hardly any hearing in my right ear. From Covid, perhaps? I foresee more doctor visits.

I miss you all to bits.

I am doing a tremendous amount of fitful sleeping. I waft effortlessly in and out of consciousness. Sometimes the only way is to notice the choherence is my thinking; believing I can cure my illness by deleting corrupted spreadsheets is but one salient example of sleep thinking.

My ears are so stuffed up. My hearing is so bad.

I’m so tired of all of this. I started getting sick from something else 27-to-34 days ago. It sure looks like I caught Covid by May 3. Covid was finally diagnosed on May 11.

Thanks to everyone for all your kind wishes and thoughts. They help my morale ever so much.

I am getting better, but I still have headaches all day long, some coughing, my eyes are sometimes scratchy. I’m always tired and a drift in and out of sleep all day. I now have a tiny appetite. I miss communicating more
