So again sorry for the lack of blogging but i really havent done anything to blog about really. On friday i phoned the ear specialist and she said the next available appointment was the 20th...of JUNE!!! I asked to go on the cancellasions list but hold not much hope!!
Over sat and sun i watched dvds and not alot else reallly, eating when i have to for my tablets. Thankfully the pain had gone pretty much by sunday but it was still blocked up and i couldnt hear. I got a thai on sat night with lots of veggies in it, that was goood.The weekend passed very slowly. Now im not in as much pain and sleeping better im getting very bored and restless! i decided i was going to go see the doc again on monday but turns out she wasnt in till tues so i actually left the hostel and went and met gilly and joshua for a coffee and a catch up which was very very good. After a couple hours with them i left them to go to lunch with their friend and i went backed, extremely tired!! i slept alot more and not alot else. just so you no by this time im now watching first series of gimmie gimmie gimmie as ive seen all the films bar about 4!!! im running out arghhhh.
(Between sunday night and tuesday i had slowly got myslef off some the the medication i was on and was just taking the antibiotics, drops and occasional paracetamol to see how i was...)
Tuesday i was up at half 6, waiting at the doctors for her to start at 8. i was told there would be a wait but the doc saw me and asked me in straight in straight away! She said the swob results she had sent off were back and that i basically have some sort of fungil infection and its like having an ear full of cement! She then said it would have to be sorted manually and that i needed to see the specialist. I told her when my appointment was and she phoned up and got me one nexct week!! Its not what u know iyts who u know! She prescribed some different drops (which now takes me about $160 worth of meds!) and said it was good that i had tried without the pain relief and had no pain but to carry on with the antibiotics. Then i was told i need to go and see her on friday for another check up.
I spent the day then in the tv room just to get out of bed as my hips are starting to seiz up now!! I got myself a dominos for tea as there cheap on tuesdays and bought an old school wrestling dvd for $5. Not great but its obver 8hours of watching so should keep me occupied!
Today is wednesday, 135pm. I went to sleep last night at around 12 and was up at 4am!! the new drops i was given gave me alot of pain when i put them and caused me alot of discomfort through the night. Ive been up since 4 like i said and am in some discomfort so i think i may have been abit premature with dropping all the meds...

UNCLE DAVID G'day sport. Glad to hear that you are making some improvement at last and they've got to the bottom of it although I'm glad that I wasn't there when they found it. Didn't you know that Aussie customs are VERY strict about taking foodstuffs into the country, especially fungi! Still it's quite comforting to find you've got something between your ears even if it is only a mushroom..........Anyway I think that you might be back to normal (normal?)quite soon to resume your adventures so keep your chin, spirits and lugs up and get ready to boogie, rock n'roll etc. (goes on for another 20 pages but edited due to lack of space) So'long for now.
Lynne Stephen, it all sounds crap to me, you didn't sign up to this kind of adventure, you could have stayed at home for that !!!!!! Hope they soon get it sorted and get that gunge out of your ear once and for all. Rob coming to Portugal with us now, he didn't have much choice!!!!! he's going to miss his mate, and we will miss you too.
