okay, well i have been traveling alot since last week(seattle, san diego, north carolina), and managed to pick up a pretty bad head cold(you know, the coughing aching, stuffy head fever, thing). okay, so while the plane was landing in san fran last night and the pressure was building up in my ears, my extreme stuffiness prevented me from being able to "pop" my ears. i was yawning, chewing, etc...no luck. It finally reached extreme pain, especially on the left side, such that my entire head felt as though it was going to explode.
so i get off the plane and am walking around unable to hear when i feel something warm running down my neck...yes, my ear was bleeding. i rushed to a doctor who gave me painkillers and said to come back in the morning. well, my ear bled all night long and today the Dr tells me that it is actually quite common to rupture an eardrum in this manner and that it will have to heal on its own which may take a few weeks?!?
so, for the time being, i have lost hearing in one ear which is a very sobering experience, especially since i am a musician. i find myself shouting to hear my own voice.
sorry, this isnt mustang related, but i need some group consolation here.
thanks for listening
