Went to the Ear, nose and throat doctor today.
This is the guy who doesnt believe in computers which is nice because he gives you his undivided attention.
He's also the guy who hates the show House M.D. because people expect him to pull a House on them and save them from some unheard of disease. :P My mom and I were joking around and we were gonna tell him if he felt like he needed to pop some vicodin he could go ahead.
Of course it didnt take long to figure out what was wrong.
Ear Infection.
D'uh. I knew that.
Swimmers ear actually. Because I use Q-tips too much. I just have a thing about my ears, if i feel like there's something in it i'll get a q-tip.
But anyways, he explained that when you clean all the wax out, it dries out the skin and it breaks and bacteria gets in there.
He looked in my ears and jabbed a point little plastic thing in my swollen, aching one and then he went on to say while he was writing on his little prescription pad that ear infections can be quite uncomfortable.
Which i totally didn't notice.
Especially after waking up at 1:30 crying.
So i get ear drops (again) and i cant get water in my ear for a week, and i cannot use q-tips more than 2-3 times a *week* which is gonna be hard because i use them every day.
But realizing you have a problem is the first step right? ;)

Try having an inner and an outer ear infection, being in so much pain you can't even swallow, being prescribed Tylenol number 3 (with codeine), only I'm allergic to codeine even though I didn't know it, so then I started being nauseous and puking. Oh, and I was pregnant at the time. I've felt your pain!
Interesting... I didn't know the dangers of using q-tips too often. Learn something new every day.
maybe that's from listening to crappy music!
: P
I happen to love my crappy music :P
