Media Otitis odyssey

I'm no expert on the subject but I do know that it hurts like hell to the point that I just want to jerk my ear off and throw it into a blazing furnace and submit myself to partial deafness.Here's the story, about two days ago, my left ear blocked and being the adult I am, I simply thought it was a wax blockage so I tugged and dug into the ravine to clean out whatever was causing the impairment but alas, all my efforts ended up futile so I surrendered to the fact that it would clear up when I got up in the morning like it usually does and boy was I wrong.

I woke up with a fever, acute migraines and nausea but I ignored it yet again and its not only till the pain and discomfort got to me that I dragged myself into the clinic to get myself checked out. A word to anyone out there who ever gets an ear infection, whether its simply a wax build up, do not under any circumstances let water enter your ear passage,its like giving first class treatment for the bacteria to fester.Luckilly I managed to keep it clean and dry but after 2 days of antibiotics and pain killers, not much has happpened.

The medical fact in lay man's terms is  my middle ear is filled with bacteria infested fluid and as I type this, I can't hear through my left ear so i purposely have to ask people to speak up even in the library and my pain killers last about an hour giving me time to nod off but not enough to give me a decent restful night. I literally wage a war with my sheets searching for a good sleeping position,practicing my pieces for my next violin lessons is a torture since since I'm a right hander,the vibrations just send rings of pain leaving me in agony so I stopped.I get a weird yellow secretion of fluid which is essentially odorless but troublesome.I could go on and on about it but I'm off it right now;Even my blog seems a little dry. I could rant on about the hospital treatment but that is a story best saved for later but one thing is for sure. To all you interns out there, a little piece of advise.I wouldn't let you lay a finger on me If i saw you doing these;

• Fumbling through my file with shaky hands
• Gossiping with the nurses before seeing me in the examination room
• Failing to make eye contact
• Handling me like I'm a cadaver(even cadavers were people who lived,so don't forcefully turn my head coz you want to look into my ear like your life depends on it.)
• Issuing me medication I've already tried and its failed to work(ever heard the saying that you have to fight fire with fire?)
• In short, as long as you look like fresh meat there's absolutely no way I would let you even put that bling round your neck to my bust!

So here is a sample of what my ear probably looks like;

cheers,from my sick bed.
