BUI-- Blogging Under the Influence

So, I'm definitely committing a blogging crime right now. I'm under the influence of a couple drugs while blogging. If you find this post is suddenly deleted, or if it doesn't make sense, or has major grammatical sins, that is why. It has been a less-than-fun past few days.

The night before last, I was overcome with a sharp and stabbing pain in my right ear, jaw, down the neck, and a crushing feeling through the chest and along my upper back. After trying to cope with such pain for a half hour and Danny typing in symptoms into WebMD trying to rule out heart attack, I began to throw up. After about 5 episodes of throwing up, I was cured. My thoughts: food poisoning.

The next morning at 4 a.m. (yesterday morning), I woke up dizzy with the room spinning. Throughout the day, a mild pain developed in the right ear. It was very mild, hardly noticeable, not constant. Then the left ear joined in the fun.

This morning both ears were a little more painful, but still pretty mild. And still dizzy, Danny took me to the doctor. The doctor said both ears don't show infection yet, but are BULGING with fluid. Thus explaining my dizziness.

So, the cinnamon raisin bread miracle cure and the princess party update will have to wait until I'm no longer BUI.

Whoa - scary! I hate when I get sick with mysterious symptoms and can't figure them out. I hope what they gave you will kick in soon and you'll feel much better!

At least it's nothing serious. Sad to hear you're feeling so miserable. Hope the drugs are helping. *hugs*

I'm so sorry that you are not feeling well. I think you actually BUI very well. All the pertinent information came out just fine! Hope you feel well soon.

Sounds like fun? That is some bizarre stuff. But you are the one for weird illnesses. Isn't WebMD the best? I love that thing. Itsd the best for knowing if you've got scurvvy, cancer or an ear infection. We've looked up so much on that thing. Good thing they don't charge. Get better.
