Since Friday the throat infection grew worse, with pain and swelling and a painful cough. I drank a lot, didn't eat much, and generally just lay around not doing a lot of activity. Yesterday my ears felt blocked up - the way they do when you have a bad cold.
4am this morning I had an incredible pain deep in my right ear. It hurt so much! And then it stopped suddenly with a pop. AH! Relief!
And then blood started coming out.
End relief, commencing worrying in 3...2...1...Worrying: commence!
Worrying swung from "CEREBRAL HAEMORRHAGE! I'M GUNNA DIE!" to "don't be silly, it's probably just a SPIDER IN MY EAR I WANNA DIE!"
Well, sleep wasn't going to happen, so I lay there and, to keep my mind from going crazy, composed a Discworld fanfic I probably won't write, and waited for 6am to roll up. 6.05am I was at the medical centre, and 10 minutes later the doctor was telling me I had a perforated ear drum.
Well, bugger.
Now I have packets of amoxycillian, ciproxyn ear drops, and a referral to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
What an embuggerance.
St. Otter wishes you better health!
May healing commence!
That being said, comforting thoughts to you, and I hope you feel better soon.
That has never happened to me.

Mine's a bit more rat roddy.
Ignore the engine pic, it has a totally different engine now, it's a Datsun A14.
I've also added the skull shifter, some subwoofers, and the GO FASTER duct tape. New seats are next.... after the turn signals :)
Duct tape on a car is worth at LEAST +10HP! :)
It's a rag top, who needs turn signals? :D
Cooool (especially in winter at 5K feet up :) fun project, much respect to ya!

I wish you a fast recovery from the infection and a full restoration of the eardrum. Here's to stereo echo location.
Hope you're on the mend, soon.
And sorry but ahahaha! "don't be silly, it's probably just a SPIDER IN MY EAR I WANNA DIE!" Very appropriate response!
Hope you feel better soon!
I'm seeing a specialist next month.
