My ear got infected a few days ago, and then even though I got medication for it, it still ruptured my eardrum. The pain is immense, I’ve gotten no sleep, and now my ear is filled with bloody puss and I cannot hear out of it. Its starting to get better, but damn does this suck.
So anyway how was everyone else’s day?
Yikes, hoping you feel better soon!
Thank you so much! The pain has reduced but I still can’t hear yet out the ear properly, but I think the worst of it is over.
Oof, that’s my fear. Mine have been popping non-stop for 20 years because my eustachian tubes don’t drain right.
Sometimes I have to pinch my nose and blow air into them to get them to drain a little, and I’m always worried about bursting my eardrums.
I’ve never heard of that, doesn’t sound very fun. I do that occasionally but never even thought it could damage my ears… maybenonce I’m better I should get a proper checkup on my ears.
Apparently there’s a name for it, eustachian tube dysfunction, which I just stumbled upon when confirming how to spell eustachian
I’ll have to look into that!
Well I was going to complain that my company migrated environments and now my Teams keeps marking old chats as new but… I think I can be grateful its just that.
I hope you the migration goes better, is the new environment way different than the old one?
We all could use a little Cathy in our lives.
