Inner Ear Infection Woes

It started friday night. I felt kinda sick so when R went out with his friend T I decided to stay home and relax. About an hour after he left, I felt this weird headrush thing and there was all this pressure in my right ear. Then? The most intense stomach-wrenching case of vertigo/dizziness I've EVER felt in my life. I mean, turning my head on the pillow made me feel seasick.

It was worse on Saturday when I woke up. I mean. I felt like I was dying. I couldn't eat. Couldn't drink: a glass of cranberry juice turned out to be a VERY bad idea and so I was too scared to drink anything but the tea the rest of the day. All weekend I coasted on ginger tea and benadryl while I tried very hard not to move my head even just a little bit.

And today? My stupid doctor isn't seeing patients until tomorrow morning between 8 and 11.
