Yesterday evening within the space of, like, two hours, I felt myself getting an ear infection. For me, that is a thing of horror, and thank the gods friend Nathan had a spare Amoxycillin I could pop, to get me started on something just in case. With that and a bunch of aspirin, I felt relief and was able to get a surprisingly good sleep. I feel "okay" if stuffed up right now, and will be checking in with the doctor at 2 pm. I know from experience that it's possible this is only summer allergies wreaking havoc, and not an actual infection, but I shall take no chances.
