Ear Update

Praise God, I think I am finally on my way to ear infection recovery.I spent all of yesterday and much of today in a medicated fog. I hated the feeling but I could not stand to miss a dose of medicine as the pain and swelling were excruciating.As of this afternoon, the swelling had gone down so much that the wick that had been inserted to get the drops into my ear canal fell out. My pain has also significantly been reduced from "my medicine is due in fifteen minutes and I have the stop watch going" to "Oh I could have taken my medicine fifteen minutes ago. Has it been that long already ?" Though I still have no hearing on the right side, I am still swollen quite noticeably, and the pressure is still very uncomfortable,and even painful, I feel so much better than I did. I am supposed to see the doctor tomorrow and I probably still will but I am pretty sure that the worst is over even though neither the two doctors,the many nurses nor anyone has a clue what actually caused this problem,I rest assured that it will be OK now.Praise the Lord !
