diagnosis, again.

I have an outer ear infection, also known as "Swimmer's Ear," because it's often caused by water in the ear. I haven't been swimming in quite a while, so I don't know about that. Anyway.

I also had a 100.7 fever.

I got two flavors of eardrops; antibiotic (because oral antibiotics will not work right for this) and painkiller. Which is wimpy. I mean, I don't want to die anymore, but I'm still hurting a lot. :(

So... I don't see me going to the dress rehearsal tonight. Which means no show for me. I am, as you can imagine, not feeling at all happy about this. But what can I do? My body has revolted against me.

Sorry, everyone. I wish I could do it, too.

It sucks. had it. also had inner ear infections at the rate of about 4 a year from when i was born until i was 19 or so. As such my ear drums are scarred heavily. On the plus side, the scar tissue by some freak of nature happened to heal in a manner that tightened my ear drum so it picks up frequencies higher and lower than normal hearing. Not superhero far but farther than normal ranges. Yay me :D

Huh. I wonder if that happened to me. I did get ear infections a lot when young, and I do have an unusually high range in my hearing. Of course, working around computers all day, that's something of a negative, as *everything* makes an audible whine...

Sorry about the show, juldea :-(

Aha! I remember you telling me that once. Now I know why. Nifty.
