Danse Macabre par Saint-Saëns

Status: tricked and treated

Friday began a bit of an odyssey to discover that I have a massive sinus infection. The kind that has been wreaking havoc on my sense of balance and my hearing in one ear.

2 ER visits and two primary care visits later, I have the right meds that will allow me to sit upright and participate in family life and running a house.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the health care professionals who helped, and for the science behind the menu of medications that are helping me right now.

Now it is on me to heal.

My heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the many who have really gone above and beyond to help me and my family.

A new day brought new places to type and click to resolve more kinds of technical issues. There was significant terror over several days. If I make it through the evening without a phone call, I may relax.
