The Rant/Rave Topic

[Twin-Skies]

Rant: I have an ear infection (acute otitis media) and vertigo.

Vertigo is a type of dizziness, where there is a feeling of motion when one is stationary. The symptoms are due to a dysfunction of the vestibular system in the inner ear. It is often associated with nausea and vomiting as well as difficulties standing or walking.

Had to go to the hospital for it earlier, because I was feeling very dizzy and I knew my ear had given me problems in the past. Basically, the doctor found out that my left tympanic membrane was red, bleeding a bit, and had bubbles. It was because of a rare condition wherein mucus infects the ear through the Eustachian tube. In other words, colds went up the ear instead of out the nose.

I'm also banned from driving and going to the gym for now.

"Rave": The condition isn't bad enough that I have to cancel Rick's planned cooking thing on Sat.

Damn. Sounds painful. I wish you well, dude.

Rave: Hmm, those AC Analog articles are turning out better than I expected. And what's with this cooking meet this Saturday?
