I may have blood dripping out of my ears tomorrow, so...
I've been having allergy problems for the last couple of days and I can't open my right ear. Mucus is blocking my eustachian tube, and I'm in panic mode about my plane ride tomorrow night. What if it doesn't open and my eardrum ruptures? My bad experience two years ago is scaring the ever loving shit out of me right now. I've been reading about what might happen to my hearing if this happens: good news: there shouldn't be any permanent hearing damage; bad news: it could be even more painful than last time. I'm not really clogged up any more, so WHY WON'T MY EAR FUCKING POP ALREADY???
