I have an appointment with the otorhinolaryngologist the day after tomorrow. I was tired of being woozy and unable to function, so I decided to start taking betahistine. That's what I took about 5 years ago, with no serious side effects. (It made me a bit sleepy, though ( Read more... )

I'm having dizzy spells again. (I have a chronic problem with my inner ear.) I'll have to do the "one thing at a time" thing. And try to keep a positive attitude!

♣ I has new tooth! Let's hope it stays in place forever!

♣ I'm about to sign a contract with that publisher my professor put me in contact with. It's not a very exciting project, but it's interesting enough, and they pay well, and they are willing to wait until I finish my present work (the translation of the 3rd YAF novel).

One of my teeth broke and there was a piece hanging, hurting my gum. The dentist was afraid I might have to extract it. She decided to finish breaking it and see if it could be saved. It did break below the gumline. In spite of that, she said that maybe she can put a crown, even if the tooth is partly broken. I hope it works. The crown will be ( Read more... )

Classes are over until August. Does that mean that now I can play? Nah. That means that now I'll have to do my final work for the semester. Deadline is July 31 ( Read more... )

Thanks to asphodeline for this link to Neil Gaiman's opinion on the JKR x RDR case. I happen to agree with him, so I'm glad that he spoke his mind.

*hugs IJ*

I'll soon be back, too. I'm already browsing my f-page, now and then.

After some torture (including some poking with tweezers and cotton swabs, and some blood), many ice compresses, 3 different eyelid cleansing products and 5 different eyedrops, my left eye is getting better. The worst torture is indifference, though. The health care system sucks here (as in many other countries, even the US ( Read more... )

It seems that my conjunctivitis is a viral one, and things got a bit uglier. I had to stop reading journals (I had to stop reading altogether). I'll need some time to take care of my eye, and when I get better, I have deadlines waiting for me ( Read more... )

Went to the ophtalmo again, and I'm glad that she agreed with me that my left eye hasn't improved at all. The classic ciprofloxacyn + dexametasone is not working, so I'm going to try a stronger antibiotics starting with Z (don't forget that I can't read at all, so...). Cross your fingers for me, because I'm more than tired of this shit.
