Feeling like a Zombie at times

Well this has been some adventure over the last 10 days.  Ray pulled his back out right before having to run his 4 races, I've struggled with ear pain and sinus pain and now I've pulled out my back.  From talking with the nurse at the doctor's office where I have an appointment tomorrow morning, it may be that I have ruptured my eardrum.  Our last day at Disneyland was nothing but me trying to get my pain to a manageable level so that I could survive the 5 hour flight and 4 hour drive home.  Well, I made it, but my back has suffered for it.  Doctor's visit tomorrow for the ears then just rest for the back.

***Update: The ENT doctor says I do not have the ruptured eardrum that he had seriously suspected from my symptoms, but I do have an infection in my Eustachian tubes and an ear infection--from a bacterial infection I picked up over the holidays that got in my sinuses and was not helped by all the airline flights, so he prescribed antibiotics, ear drops, and nasal spray--and Sudafed, Tylenol, Mucinex and rest.

Photo of the scene on the way to Disneyworld that reminded me of one from  "The Walking Dead."  It was really creepy as the sun was just going down.  I had just watched every single episode of the series, so I can be forgiven for having zombies on the brain.
