Go on, scream louder.....

I can't hear you.

Last Thursday I started not feeling well. Didn't make it to the doctor's until Monday when lo and behold, my right ear drum burst.

Fun.

Doctor said I had a sinus infection, and an ear infection

Double Fun.

So, since Monday, my left ear has been blocked due to the sinus infection and my right ear has been ringing due to the perforated tympanic membrane, so I can't hear very well. Actually, to be more specific, I can hardly hear shit.

• Low tones - like Chris when he speaks normally - can't hear
• white noise tones - like the sound of water running in the shower from downstairs - can't hear
• some high tones - like the sound of the alarm clock when I'm downstairs @ 6am with a child that didn't want to sleep in his own bed - can't hear
• Voices that aren't clear - like when I'm trying to listen and eat at the same time - can't hear.

What I can hear is about to make me insane

• the sound of water hitting my skull in the shower
• the sound my neck makes when I turn my head
• this INCESSANT RINGING IN MY EAR
• the noises I make when I eat. Carrots are ironically deafening.

I have a follow up appt. with an ear/nose/throat doctor on the 14th and they will do a hearing test to make sure my damaged ear drum hasn't caused a loss in hearing. Heh, just wait until they test my LEFT ear - my right one was the good one!

huh? What did you say?

oh, never mind.....
