• Ohhhhh yeah, forgot to mention another lovely after-effect, aka neuralgia.    The virus has also apparently damaged some of the nerves in his middle ear.    He does have some pain in his ear, but what has been most noticeable is the severe motion sickness he's suffering.    Every single time we have to put him in a car (which has only been for required medical visits) we have to be sure to pack along a barf bucket and try to keep some dramamine/bonine down.     Thankfully the last two trips everything stayed in his tummy until AFTER the car stopped and he could dash to a bathroom.

  And the kids have had to learn that when daddy is sitting in one of the rocking recliners, DO NOT! begin to rock said recliner.   Again, that will result in a mad run to the bathroom or need of the barf bucket.   So even if the pain gets under control, we don't know if he could even TRY to drive a car, tractor, or combine.
