Advice, because let's face it, it's probably soooo common

KEEPIN IT REAL

So, you know how when you have such a bad sinus infection that you get a huge ear infection on your trip and it doesn't pop after your flight home like it's supposed to and when you're landing, you think that your ear is going to explode even though you medicated yourself? You know how when it still hasn't popped 3 days later and you are talking into a bubble or tunnel and no sound is escaping due to the blockage in your ears? You know how it hurts when you slightly move your head because the antibiotics don't touch whatever those nasty bacteria are up to in your FACE and your forehead is literally pounding out of your physical head? You know how you wonder what the next step is after you are taking the strongest antibiotic and it isn't touching it? You know how you can't hear out of that really infected ear and then how your baby needs medicine for her own issues and your other daughter needs you to print that English paper and have the one packet she forgot to the high school by 2:30 or she'll get half credit? You know how the other daughter still doesn't have her prom dress for the dance on Friday and has a really hard time shopping for dresses in the first place and you've gone with her a bunch but she still doesn't have it and it's Wednesday? Oh and you know how when you live in L.A. there are no modest dresses and then how you also have to find a flattering modest dress after school in traffic how difficult that is? Then, you know how you told everyone in your family that you are going to Paul Simon at the Pantages Theatre tomorrow, and even though you're going alone, because your husband is traveling again, it's ok, because after all, it's Paul Simon, and he's worth an alone visit anyway, but then you realize that you CAN'T HEAR and your head is pounding out of your head? You know how when you know it's Easter Week and you've decided to make it really great for your 10-year-old so you buy the egg decorating stuff and the sugar cookie stuff and basket stuff and then when you're checking out, you can't keep that ear-infected head straight up anymore so you have to lean against the magazine thing and close your eyes as she says, "Ma'am, ma'am".... trying to get your credit card swiped? You know how you don't live in a place where your mom will feel sorry for you and bring you soup and your sister will come take the baby so you can sleep? You know how when your husband pulls in at 8, you have been collapsing in your bed and sleeping but then you wake up and it still hasn't gone away? And then you wonder why the heck a strong antibiotic isn't helping after 5 doses? OK, so when that happens, WHAT DO YOU DO??
Please let me know. thx. e
