New ears, please. RIGHT. NOW.
Oh god. This sucks more than just about anything has ever sucked before.
I can barely hear. The rotten earache in my left ear has migrated to the right ear. I guess the right ear felt lonely and the left ear wanted to share. It feels like I'm underwater. Every now and then it feels like someone is jamming a red-hot poker in both ear canals. My face feels feels like a cotton ball from the inside. Advil and Sudafed are now doing absoutely nothing to help. Nothing. I tried hot compresses for a while last night, and a heating pad, and that worked only up to the point where putting any kind of pressure on my ears made everything worse. I think I maybe got a total of 3 hours of sleep last night, at 20 minute intervals. I tried the couch for a while, so I could be more propped up, and then MoobieMom got up and was making noise, which was making my head hurt (what little of the noise I could hear, anyway) so I came upstairs and tried again. But since the only position I could sleep in was on my back, it got old and uncomfortable very quickly and I gave up. And now I am awake. Beh.
This sucks more than my cramps usually do - at least with the cramps (and migraines, for that matter) I know that if I take Advil and have a lie down for a couple hours, the pain goes away. And with this ear thing, there is NOTHING that is working. If anyone has any ideas, please, for the love of all that may or may not be holy, please let me know.
For breakfast I ate applesauce because chewing hurts.
THIS. SUCKS.
OW.
I have a feeling I'm going to be at the doctors' office tomorrow using sick time that I really don't have.
