What's up with both my ears this year? (ooo that rhymed nicely now didnt it)
If you may recall, dear reader, that earlier in the ear (i mean year), in the ulu-ated province of Brunei, a bloody fly (ok technically, insect. it wasnt really a fly) flew into my ear resulting in yours truly having to take a 2 hour boat ride to the main city to get it extracted by a ear specialist.
(there are actually people who specialize in EARS?!)
And now.. barely a month later.. yours truly awoke on a beautiful sunny Monday morning during an off-day from army in a good mood which was quickly dampened by the discovery that my right ear felt like it was completely blocked. A trip to the doctor's revealed that i'd gotten an EAR INFECTION on my RIGHT ear (the one which the crazy bruneian insect DIDNT fly into). and i dont even know HOW the heck i got that infection. I certainly didnt go putting anything in after last month's lesson. Bah.
Now im inflicted by a ringing in my ears that sounds like my sister wailing 24-7. It doesnt even stop when i sleep. And I cant ear (i mean hear) half the things my friends or officers and saying to me, resulting in a pretty rude "haaah?" following every sentence they say, making my officers think im some arrogant pre-commissioning cadet. It hasnt improved for the past 2 days, even tho ive been on my largest dose of antibiotics in like, my life. (i dont usually take western medication cause my dad's an acupuncturist).
If ears didnt make me look so good, i'd cut them off. (ok ok just kidding, im always afraid to make these sorta sweeping statements in case they come true)
