Managed to get an ear infection b/c I apparently use q-tips to clean my ears too often... I've been cleaning em everytime I get outta the shower my entire adult life and never had a problem, but got the "I told you so" from my nurse wife. Walking out the door today to bring in some groceries my wife picked up I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and rolled my ankle off the sidewalk, and smacked the opposite knee into the pavement skinning it. Ankle hurt so bad I didn't even notice my knee until I stood up a few moments ago and felt some cramp then pull in it. Long story short I can barely walk and still have black infection shit that's impacted wax periodically still coming out of my ear. No joke, my ear infection is the worst pain I've experienced next to a tooth that abcessed and needed a root canal. I've had a hernia surgery, disc surgery, and the pain levels were no where close to an ear infection. At least the ear doesn't hurt anymore and the ankle and knee only do when I try to walk. Still kinda sounds like one of my ears is underwater. I can't wait to go back to work hobbling on Friday, after the ear infection I don't want to use anymore sick days for a while. Game of life, and we all play hurt from time to time I guess. Oh well...
