We love ya, keep us informed. And try not to breathe the "sick air"

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh man...so sorry! But, sounds like that's the place you need to be!

 

[Bruce]

I hope the wait isn't terribly long!

 

[Latestarter]

Good gosh! Look at the time! You're STILL at the ER? That is NOT a good sign! Hoping this is not something really serious! Waiting to hear the outcome. Hang in there lady!

 

[Rammy]

Shoot. My Mom waited 6 hours at the hospital once before she got seen. Its ridiculous.

From my understanding it's because too many people go to the ER for things they really should be going to an urgent care type facility for. Not that they're not "real sick", but that what they're dealing with isn't truly an "emergency"; life, death, permanent damage, critical type situation... Like folks taking up room space at a ER trauma center for a head cold... Course as recently as 20 years ago, urgent care facilities didn't even exist... There was your regular family doctor and the ER... I don't go to a doctor or ER/hospital until I have absolutely no choice.

 

[Latestarter]

Dang... so sorry you have to deal with this even longer. I hope the antibiotics nip it in the bud, but if not that, at least stop it from progressing... Lots of rest, extra vitamins, lots of fluids, more rest.

I hope you are sleeping late this morning, a extended "visit" to the ER is exhausting. At least you got a little relief, hope you continue to get better until you can get to your appointment in a week.

I hope they gave you high powered antibiotics, knock that infection out. DD2 has had numerous ear infections, usually didn't even notice or complain when she was little. Ended up with burst ear drums one morning. Ear tubes, repair for the holes they put in her ear drums when they didn't close up properly. Then just two years ago had a repeat of both inner and outer ear infections in both ears at college. Ended up with a cyst in one ear and so much scarring in the other she could barely hear out of it. Operation for the cyst Nov of 2017 and to remove the scar tissue last June. Sure hope you don't get that bad!
