Colocasia Taro Giant Elephant Ears part 2

 


HEAR YE! HEAR YE! 
I just got home from the doctor and the mystery is solved.
I AM SICK! not a tumor or cancer
Sinus Infection, Swollen Tonsils, fluid in both ears, inner ear infection, yeast on tongue causing swollen throat.
Triple antibiotic 3 times a day, Steroids to make it heal faster, Strong Dizzy Pill...
and a Dyflucan pill for after effects, if you don't know what they are, you have never needed one.
I should be able to walk Beau within 24 to 48 hours.
It is 11:09 AND I can pick up RX at 11:40.
Light at the end of the tunnel

These elephant ears are direct line of sight from the whole middle of our house, through the sliding glass doors and windows



I put the phone on selfie mode and stood holing the unseen screen upwards taking Ear Selfies and myself the Mad Photo Bomber showed in 2 of them.

This is the largest of 5 leaves and measures 47 by 32 inches, and 119 by 81.28 centimeters
I LOVE THIS PLANT!

I kinda thought it was ear infection. It can certainly put you off balance. Get well...Beau's waiting.

Happy...happy...happy to find the answers to your problems. 24 to 48 hours for relief..you can manage that. It helps to know that it's not some horrible disease too.
Love those huge Elephant Ears...what a view from your windows.

How cool, those being visible from the middle of your home! Like an invitation to step outside. I've forgotten, was any of that vegetation there when you first moved in?

Hopefully all was ready at the pharmacy and you're on the road to recovery. Woot!

Hello ,
So glad you know the reason behind you feeling so bad, the dizzy feeling is not good. I hope the medicines work quickly and you are back to normal soon.
I just love your elephant ear plant. Have a great day and a happy weekend!

Now that's what they call a real head case. It will be good to get all that sorted out and be able to stand up without the world gyrating. Mr T gets ear infections and knows all about the wobbles. Good health vibes from both of us F & Mr T

I trust the meds will have the desired effect and help you feel better soon.

Dizziness and the ears always go hand in hand. We are glad you saw the doctor and got some good meds. Be sure to finish all those antibiotics, that is critical. And sometimes with a bad case, you might need a second round. We are only repeating what Dr. Mom (NOT) is saying. Feel better.

YES!!!! You will be back to your 'normal' self in no time! Such good news!!

Ann said...

I hope all those meds kick in super fast and you're feeling better very soon

Oh gosh, I just read about your sickness, hope you are better a bit already by today. Love the elephant ears. Amazingly, I managed to ROT mine by nervously overwatering. Rot in the desert, not a usual thing...

Hello again,

My goodness, you are in a bad way. I thought the dizziness would be connected to your ears.
I hope your meds help you recover soon. Sending hugs your way. Get well soon.

About the other ears,:=) The Elephant Ears are like huge sun shades. Incredible size for leaves.

Oh so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well but hopefully the meds are doing their thing right now & you are on the mend. - Wow that is one giant leaf!

I can't believe how big they are!
So glad you went to the doctor. I can't believe the infections they found. Glad you are on the mend.
