Topping the List of Things I Hate...

Clearly, I don't have a degree in medicine. But, did you know that adults can get ear infections? You did? Ya, most people do. Just not me, apparently. And did you know that they hurt like hell? Oh, yes. Yes, they do.


I went to bed on Tuesday night with absolutely no ailments, whatsoever. By 5:00am I was singin' a different tune. I woke up to the worst pain I have ever had in my life. Well...besides three natural childbirths, but that's a whole other post in itself. I am pretty proud of that though. And no, I'm not an advocate of natural childbrith, unless of course you are an idiot into that kind of thing. I just wasn't lucky enough to be the recipent of an epidural for various reasons. The girls came too fast and with Jack I got one, but it didn't work. Good times.

Anyway. Wow. I got off track.

So, have you ever shoved a q-tip too far down in your ear? Hurts like hell, yes? That's what this felt like. Only it didn't stop. I was crying and I am NOT a baby (See above paragraph). Long story short, I got some antibiotics and some ear drops and started feeling better. Still can't hear a damn thing, but I will take that anyday over having a meat thermometer shoved in my ear canal.

I think next time I come across a voodoo doll I will poke it in the ear. And to think I always went for the penis stomach before. (I've really never seen a voodoo doll in person, but if they work, I think they are a divine idea.)


Here's hoping none of you ever get an ear infection. :)
