Worked half a day. Came home and felt really bad. Exhausted, headache, and earache.

Took two Vicodin. Went to be early. Could not sleep. Finally got up and took an Ambien. Woke up at 2:00am but was able to go back to sleep. Woke up at 4:00am with a severe headache. Had to take Vicodin again. Laid in the recliner and tried to go back to sleep sitting up, thought that might help.

Slept off and on until about 9:30. Pretty tired due to a rough night. (morning)

Went with the school faculty to the bowling alley. Had to take meds due to the noise bothering me. All in all had a good time. Enjoyed being around everybody. Very tired.

Went to Dr. Ton. Says I am progressing well. Thinks I am going to have a full recovery. Says I need to go back to work gradually still, not all day yet…prescribed Neurontin for chronic headaches, I’ll start taking it after I get passed having to take Vicodin. Weight is back to 123lbs again, thank you steroids!! At least I am done with that.

I have felt a little bit of pulling on the left side, but it is actually the right side that feels weird. Tight. Doc says no vasculs in my ear!! Pretty normal to have exhaustion still. Not sure they really know what is normal with this stuff but seems to be with others who have experienced it. Says I need to go and walk the mall and see how much I can tolerate.

Got up and straightened up the house. Had to go get taxes done. Had to take meds for my headache. Went out to eat and to the mall. Went to a movie. Got home around 10pm. I am wiped out. Have a slight headache but not too bad. Going to try to hit it with IB. and see if that will help. And sleep!!

Went in to school today. Stayed most of the day. I did pretty well. I went home around 1:00 and tried to sleep. Couldn’t sleep. Laid on the couch and watched a movie. Ended up dozing off in the evening and then not being able to go to sleep when I went to bed. Stayed up and cleaned the kitchen, dining room and living room. Took an Ambien and went to bed.

Went in at 7:30 this morning. Taught a couple of subjects. Graded some papers. Came home around 1:00 and crashed.

Went in today at noon. Felt okay. Just tired.

When I get home, I still don’t want to do anything but lay around on the couch.
