I went to the emergency room this morning for my ear infections and on the paper that asked for the reason why I was there I put, 'ears falling off,' and above it, 'BAD ear infection.' After a while, my ears dried out and the crust on my ears started showing, so I suppose that demanded immediate attention, and I was seen within 2 or 3 hours, which isn't that bad considerating that they made me wait 2 or so hours when I stabbed myself with a butchers knife and was bleeding everywhere.
So the doctor prescribed me a cream and ear drops, and I had to drive quite a distance to pick up the other prescriptions. I felt like asking the pharmacist at the Eckerd county which part of Africa she was from. Because she sure did have a lot of face paint on. Boy that was a lot of makeup... But after I picked up the prescriptions, I was about an hour and a half late for work. I have a quarter of a point from that, and I'm hoping that I wont miss to many points from not coming to work on Saturday and Monday because I might be going to Indiana then, if God wills it.
The skin holding my ears to my face is cut and I have a lot of cuts on my ears from the infection and from stretching. My left ear is worser than my right ear, but I've been putting the microphone from work, causing the infection, mostly on my right ear. I can't hear very well in my right ear, but it's the left ear that's the worst. It's not only from the microphone, but from the evil that comes out of it when people say negative things or from listening to so much grief over the phone at work. I'm trying not to touch my ears so they'll heal in time for if I see Carolyn this Friday. Again, only if God wills it! I hope I can see her... I hope she's not too grossed out by my ears if I do see her... If so, then there's nothing much I can do to hide it from her, they do decorate my face. Oh well. I better go to bed so my body can heal.

I can't say that I understand what you're going through, but I can say that it is so easy to take certain areas of your body for granted until you lose ability in them. I hope everything goes well for you.
