My time off work

As I mentioned earlier I got sick leave from work because I got an ear infection. So while I was not working, but still sitting at home, I was able to read a book and watch couple of movies that I have (and haven't seen before).

I also asked my friend if I would come over even though I am kind of sick (I know that ear infection won't catch on, but as she has a small baby at home, I thought it would be better to ask). Lucky me she didn't mind. So I was able to see a friend whom I haven't seen since 1,5 years. Before that it was almost 3 years. So I think it was time to reconnect.

My few hour visit turned out to be almost seven hours... (wopsie). My brother called me while I was there and informed me that he has a sofa for me :) So I had to go and show where my new sofa should go. Of course after he had left I rearranged my living room and guest bedroom (as the old sofa was taken there).

During the weekend I was babysitting my nephew and went shopping with a friend. I think my nephew like it, as his sister was away in a trip as well. So they both got to travel that day. :) After that I stayed the night at my brother's new home and tested their new sofa. It was really comfy!

Then we left (with my brother's family) to a cruise to Stockholm. It was really nice trip even though most of the time I couldn't hear what everybody else was saying. Somehow the noise of the ship was too much for my one good ear. With that I mean that there was too much noise and it was hard for me to tell where the noise was coming aka if someone was talking to me or not.

We went to Skansen where there was a small zoo like thingy. It was really good for the children as they were able to run around. I will post pics if I have any from there :)

Also I had to call to the doctors again as there still was some pain in my ear. Compared to the time when I called in and said that I think there might be infection in my ear, I couldn't feel any difference. So I got the time for the same day as we got home from the cruise. The doc had some good news and some not so good. The ear should have healed already ( with this I mean the colour was dark gray not light gray as it should). There was no sign of infection, but it didn't look healthy either. Also the hearing thingy test that he did wasn't very good, so I got an appointment to make a proper test. Well I am in line and might or might not be able to get in later this year.

But result is, that I still have loss of hearing in my right ear. Though today I have been able to make it "crack" which would mean that I might be getting my hearing back soon. The cracking sound should have started already almost a week ago, when I got the medication. But hey better late than never. Tomorrow will be the last day I need to eat the antibiotics. I think I might not need to eat any painkillers either. I had to take one yesterday, but I have not taken any today. I don't like eating pills, so if I can drop them out I will.
