As nature runs it course, somewhere it felt that I didn’t have enough on my plate.  I don’t know how it happened but I guess like everything else lately, it just happened.  My right ear is swollen to the point that it hurts.  I can’t lay my head on that side and even tried placing an ice pack on it in hopes that it would reduce the swelling.  Ice pack only touches the outer ear, and its my inner ear that is swollen.

I haven’t had an ear infection like this since I was a kid so its kind of a surprise that I get one now.  I tried to clean the ear but its so swollen I had to remove 90% of the cotton on the q-tip to me able to insert it in my ear.  Its been so long since I have had an infection like this I am not even sure what to do.

If it keeps this up I will have to pay a visit to the V.A. which I really don’t want to do.
