As you might have registered already, I've lately had hearing problems. I'm terribly excited about what vital or just really important function will turn itself off next, after I have been unable to eat, breathe and hear.
Anyway, after over a week of no use for my left ear, I went to a doctor. She looked at my ears and told me to go to a nurse and dewax. I did, and after they flushed my ears with more water than an African family consumes in a year, I regained stereohearing. That was good. Then the doctor looked into my ears one again and told me they were red. Then she prescribed me penicillin (did you know that penicillin is etymologically related to penis?)(bet you didn't)(bet you didn't want to know). For some reason I was really annoyed over that I can't drink alcohol for the next ten days, as long as I have to take the pills. Then I looked it up and discovered that you can mix alcohol with penicillin. I still don't know why it bothered me in the first place, because it's not like it's a problem to abstain from drinking for ten days.
