Final Approach
My wife went through a long bout with an ear infection. As she began shaking it, I began to get it. It involves ear aches and headaches on each side at the back top of my head. It drug along for awhile and I finally went to the ear doctor. He put me on antibiotics and nasal steroids. I began that one week ago Friday night so when I took my medicine tonight it was the end of 8 days of the medicine.
My earaches and headaches continue albeit not as bad. I have not had a dizzy spell in all this, but for fear of having some spatial disorientation in flight, I have grounded myself.
An IA on my field started doing the annual on my plane a few weeks ago with the idea of signing it OFF on the first of May. We had a little minor engine trouble but worked it out yesterday afternoon and it runs really sweet. As bad as I wanted to fly, I thought better of it. He offered to go with me in case something happened, but he is not a tailwheel pilot. He could probably get us on the ground alive, but ground looping her doesn't sound fun either.
SO, am I overreacting since I have not had any dizziness? Also I don't think antibiotics are a drug that it is illegal to fly with. Am I correct on that?
Thanks for your responses.
