Ear problem.

Never thought I would actually end up in a hospital here.

For some strange reason my right ear had been acting a little strange lately. It got swollen so badly for no reason all of a sudden, and even worse, the swell was in the ear that it blocked the tunnel so I was having trouble hearing.

Yesterday my little swell friend decided that he really didn't like me so he started to give me this pain that I could hardly bare. So to the hospital it was! It was late so no bus and since now is really holidays for the French students, my friends with cars are all gone. So I had to walk for a hour in the cold, but really needed to take care of my buddy.

The hospital and the ER was actually quite similar to those in Canada, which I remember quite vividly not too long ago from my bike accident.

The ER doctor couldn't really do any analysis since I really don't know what was the cause, so he took my ear and squeeze the sh#t out of it. Boy did it hurt, although I must admit that after most of the crap had been taken out, it felt much better.

The doctor then gave me a prescription of some anti-biotics, which I had to buy right away for the night. After finding out that I walked to the hospital and had to walk back, the nurse felt kinda sorry for me and decided to give me some anti-biotics at least to cover the night. I felt saved because the pharmacy is all the way on the other side of the city!

I am seeing a specialist next tuesday to have it further examined, I don't think it's anything serious, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
