Here's the dealy-o;
I've been up and down and at odds, inside outside, alive and dreaming, and basically it comes down to...a few days lost.
Really...I was at the hospital for something stupid I did... Ok. Here goes. Someone told me that when you have an ear infection you can put a small amount of peroxide in and it "cures" it...Well, I did that. Following my mother's emphatic (and slightly paniced) encouragement, I tried to rinse it out with water to make sure the peroxide didn't do any damage. So we stuck a funnel in there and poured some water on in. And the water didn't come out...
It just kinda stayed in there, sloshing around... I could feel it, I could even hear it. It was pushing against my ear drum. Yay! Pain! And more Pain!!! So we called this hotline called "healthlinks" set up to give people a different way of verifying the severity of their illness/injury/concern...Basically, because health care is free here, people go to the hospital for any damn thing. So, I called and spoke to a nurse, who said she'd never heard of something like this happening, and "you may as well go to the hospital and get that checked out. Good luck kid." In the most uninterested smokers tar laced flemmy cackle. "thanks..." I said.
So 4 hours later the doctor looks, says, "It's infected so badly that the canal is inflamed and irritated to the point of being the size of a pin head wide. Huh. So, how's the water get out? It doesn't. Wow, am I stupid. Now the medication that I have been taking has caused a very rare side effect which is intense ringing in my ear/some hearing loss, so I have to discontinue use. I'm a supereme fuckhead people.
AND the good news...WE FOUND OUR BRIDES MAIDS DRESSES for my Wedding. They are fucking Sassy to the sassed degree. I'll post a pic. I want them for my gown. Ah! I'm so girly.
Anyway. That's been the last few days. How are all my peeps?

i did the same thing last janurary when i had an earache..
peroxide prevents infections in cuts and i poured some in my ear.. and.. same thing.. just hurt worse.. so then.. water to rinse it out..
mine didn't get quite as infected but that was a horrible week..
hope your ear gets better soon.. i don't wish that on anyone.. (except for those anti-porn fbi schmucks...)
