My ear hurts

Yesterday I was blowing my nose and my right ear got locked (not sure it that is the right term, but you can correct me if you don't understand me) and it didn't seem to unlock at all. I wasn't too worried about it, as I figured that it would pop up any second...

Any second turned into hours (and hours into days...). So I decided to go to bed early, in case it would help if I lay down. It indeed did seem to work at first (heard the popping sound), but then the pain hit me. I was turning and rolling for few hours, then I set the alarm clock to wake me up so that I would be able to call and get a doctor's appointment. That was wishful thinking. Not the doctor's appointment, but that I would need alarm clock to wake me up...

It hurt so much that I woke up really early. I just had to wait for the time to pass so I could make the call. In the meantime I texted with my friend and my aunt. I informed my aunt that I wouldn't be working today, and that my ear hurt. I have a medication for my hand, so I was really reluctant to take another pain killer for my ear. My aunt (whom has had trouble pain few years back) told me that I should be able to take a normal amount of pain killers (not burana or aspirin). So I did take the normal pain killers in the morning, which was good because the time seemed to roll over so slowly.

I was in luck when I called. I think I was the first one, so no waiting in line and I got the appointment an hour away. I had already decided that if I am not able to get a morning time, I would go to private hospital. So I was really happy, that I didn't have to pay myself silly by going to there. The public hospital/health center visit only costs under 14 euros and the private would be double that. So I went to the health center in good time, even though sometimes you need to wait quite long time because they are running behind the schedule. Yet again the luck was on my side, and when it was my time the doctor asked me to come in. Also the Doctor was specialist in ear-nose-throat thingies (in Otorhinolaryngology), well I guess that since I told the nurse that my ear hurts, she decided to send me to him :)

First he did a sound check (you know with the thingy, if I can hear the sound or more likely where do I hear the sound) and then he checked my ears. The left ear (the good one) was with no surprises in good condition. (He talked what it looks like while looking in.) Then was the turn of right ear (the one that hurts) and he was silent the whole time! Like: lets see what we can find in here... Because he didn't say anything right after he had checked the ear, I went in my head o'ou, this can't be good. I think that the doctor was a bit surprised that I wasn't in more pain, or at least didn't complain about it. Apparently my ear looks like it should hurt a lot. :/

I think that the meds I took for my hand, covered the pain in my ear. Oh well, now I got more meds to eat. Oh happiness... NOT. I don't like eating pills. Really I do not like eating any kind of pills. I have been practicing with vitamins, but I still can't just swallow a pill. I need something with it. No water is not enough. No, nothing liquidy is good either. So yes, oh the glory that I have to go through for the next week. After a week I can drop one out. Then I think I will also drop the meds for my hand. So after 10 days, I shouldn't be eating any meds daily. Blaah I tell ya, Blaah!
