Sinus Infections and Playground First Aid Kits

June 12th, 2009 by wanaderer

Sorry to my few readers out there that have been waiting for my next excerpt from my off the wall world.

Update, we’ve all had sinus infections again.  This time though I ended up in the emergency ward with an ENT all but physically biting his tongue when I told him that I’d already seen an ENT who would not operate on me.  Guess what this guy insists on operating after looking at a CT scan.  I’m on 4 different antibiotics and prednazone steroids so that I can breath through my nose and my sinsus can have a chance to drain.  It was so bad I lost my sense of taste and smell.  My balance was off and don’t even let me look at food at the time. 

I am feeling better and the guys are healthy.  I’ll see the ENT again on the 18th and hopefully then book a time for the end of the year or beginning of next to get the operation done.

Now onto what I put into my playground first aid kit.  Yes you can buy these in stores for over $30 CAN if you can find them.  I haven’t.

What I did is get a large dollar store pencil case (2 zips on it so it’s go a wide opening) and I have added:

Anticeptic wipes

bandaids

antibiotic ointment

an instant cold pack

twizzers

bite ointment

tylenol

and a small pack of travel wipes.

Well most of the things kids will get into are scraps, cuts, slivers, bug bites and bumps. 

This can be tossed into a diaper bag or purse.
