Just being really lazy lately about blogging, wasn't feeling good and just didn't' have the energy I guess. Well, it's an excuse anyway.
I was having trouble with one ear almost a month ago and finally went to a Dr. and got a weeks worth of antibiotics, that didn't work so returned and got another weeks worth. In the meantime I went to Phoenix with a couple of friends for a few days. We had a good time there meeting and having dinner with some relatives of mine and also shopping. I bought 4 bags of red licorice and we ate them in a few days, should have bought more lol.
When I returned the ear was still not good so returned again to the Dr.. She checked it out and decided that it was still inflamed and sent me to a specialist that same day, as she said she couldn't do anything else for me. The specialist checked it all out and decided that I needed to go to the dentist and get a mouth guard as he decided that I have TMJ or something similar. He gave me a prescription for aniti-inflammatory medicine and something else to stop the first one from bothering my stomach, cost of the specialist was 500 pesos or about $41.55 CAD. In the meantime I got the flu so had to cancel my dentist appt. for a few days. After I got over the flu I called the dentist for an appt. and had him check me out. He couldn't find any other problems so did an impression for a mouth guard and told me to return in a few days as he was going out of town. Returned on Friday for the mouth guard, got heck from him for not taking the anti-inflammatory meds., paid him 800 pesos for the mouth guard (about $66.47 CAD) and went on my merry way. I found out by experimentation that the pills that were to protect my tummy from the other ones were the ones bugging me, so I cut those out and am fine on only the anti-inflammatory ones. Go figure! Anyway whether it is the mouth guard that I wear at night or whether it is the pills, my jaw/ear are feeling much better, thank goodness.
Still going to Spanish class once a week and also have started going back to help the children with their English. I think there was only one day last week that I wasn't uptown, that is crazy for a homebody like me.
I got some yarn and have been doing some crocheting also, so have been busy.
It is cold here and we are freezing to death, some kind of cold front up north and right now at 12 noon it is only 21 C., crazy weather is a month early compared to other years.
The shrimp festival was held in San Carlos on Saturday and we were just to lazy to go, so no new pictures to show.
