fox: curling stones: i love this game (curling)

yesterday, and then today

so after i posted about how much better i was feeling, i promptly started feeling worse. the sinuses filled back up, and the ears managed to feel stopped as well. nothing i did made this better. when we stopped to grab a sandwich on the way to curling, i blew my nose and almost fell down. [livejournal.com profile] cmshaw had to prop me up until i regained my balance. everything all night sounded like i was underwater. this is pretty much Not Okay.

did okay at curling, though. [livejournal.com profile] datlowen, self, [livejournal.com profile] jgesteve and [livejournal.com profile] darthrami took on MB, KR, JS, and AS, and defeated them 8-2 in eight ends. (stole one, stole two, stole one, stole one, gave them two, took one, stole one, stole one.) it wasn't very pretty. we were playing well (and well together), and they ... weren't. in their defense, though, they're all good curlers (or, good enough; i think J is the weak link), and they just haven't been playing as a team for very long. by contrast, we've been playing as a group for two years (granted, not so often, but still), and have the added bonus of extreme brain-sharing. get us in a groove, and it's tough to get us out again.

this morning, i feel better than last night but worse than yesterday still. i'm concerned about this pressure in especially my left ear. sometimes it goes away, but unpredictably and not for very long. so i've called back the doctor's office i saw on monday, to ask if they think i need to come back again or if there's something i can do on my own to make it better. i haven't lost my balance again, but i've felt wobbly ever since i tipped over yesterday.
