Extreme earache pain

I woke up at 5 this morning because of so much pressure in my ear. By 7 when everyone else woke up it was sharp pain and I felt like my eardrum was going to explode. 

I went to rediclinic at 8 to get it checked and get a prescription. HEB's pharmacy where I usually go doesn't open until 10 on Sunday and I was in pain so I had them send it to Walmart which I don't like as much but I thought they opened at 9 and it's the closest to home. Turns out they don't open until 10 either and it was not quite 9 by the time I figured that out (in the store) so Kyleeann and I went home to wait and I took some ibuprofen to help with the pain. 

We went back at 10 and there was already a line so we waited only to find out it had never come through from the doctor. Luckily he had given me a paper one I could give them and they said it would be a half hour. My ear was still hurting and Kyleeann was ready to nap and not be at the store so we went Easter egg shopping instead. Which I normally wouldn't do because it is Sunday but I needed something to help keep my mind off the pain and to help Kyleeann forget how tired she was.

This is how we both felt having to wait and really how we felt about the whole experience, there unfortunately is a lot more to the story....

A half hour later I get to the counter right as they are bagging it and she is about to ring me up and goes one of them is $193 let me see if there is a cheaper one you can get. Turns out there is but a doctor has to change it so they say they are going to call and ask them to send in a new one. So Kyleeann and I went and walked around again for 10 minutes before just going back there to wait. The lady behind the counter saw me and told me that they haven't been able to get a hold of the doctor and recommended I go home and wait there and they would call when ready. She told me this for a mothers sanity sake,  Kyleeann only had one shoe at this point which she had pointed out worried that we lost it in the store but really it was in my bag because I was sick of putting it back on after she kicked it off for the fourth time. 

It's 11 by this point so I do go home so I can put Kyleeann down. Who went to sleep very easily and quickly. I really wanted a nap as well, I woke up way too early but while the ibuprofen did kick in and my ear pain was now bearable it still didn't feel great. I laid in bed and I actually did finally fall asleep but 20 minutes later Robert started texting me and I couldn't fall back asleep. 20 minutes is better than nothing. 

 Well the pharmacy finally called at 1:15 and said it was ready but Kyleeann was still sleeping and they told me they are closed from 1:30-2. Kyleeann woke up at 1:45 and was ready for lunch but I was tired and in pain and this is what she got:

I had picked up a box of doughnuts while we were walking around Walmart for that hour. I was in too much pain to eat until the ibuprofen kicked and could realize I was hungry. 

Not healthy but she ate it well and didn't drag out eating like she sometimes does which I needed because I really wanted to get to the store! 

Finally after waiting in line one more time I walked out with two prescriptions in hand at 2:30. Now I just have to remember to take pills three times a day and drops two times a day for 10 days. Hopefully the pain will finally fully go away tomorrow.
