Swimmer's ear

I don't really like to complain, but i have to because my ear hurts SOOOOOOOO bad!!!!  And it's my blog, so i can do what i want :).  Anyway just yesterday i started having a lot of ear pain.  I figured it would go away so i just did some random home remedies to help.  Some of them kind of took the pain away temporarily, but it just kept on hurting.  I really was trying to avoid the doctor because we don't have health insurance.  I mean... we applied over 2 months ago when Dan started his new job and we STILL don't have it!  Something really is wrong with the healthcare in the country.  But anyway, last night at about 8 i could no longer stand the pain (eating dinner even hurt).  I looked up the instacare hours and luckily they were open til 9.  So we went and we paid $100.  It was worth it though because the doctor said i have swimmer's ear (an infection that needs to be treated and would only get worse without antibiotics... i can't imagine how it could feel any worse though).  It hurts more than the ear infections lots of people get when they are kids (the doctor even said so).  I was confused because i haven't been swimming in a while (it's been at least a few weeks), but you can still get swimmer's ear without swimming.  It's an infection in the ear canal and i honestly feel like my ear canal is swollen shut!  haha... i can barely hear out of it.  Anyway the doctor was very nice and instead of making me go buy the prescription (which would have been another $100), he gave me free samples of ear drops to clear it up.  Hooray!  I started taking the ear drops last night and i'm hoping they work soon.  Ok that's it, done with my complaining.  Thanks for reading :).

Now i'm going to go watch that movie "You Again" which i have had from Netflix for like 2 weeks now.  I'm justifying sitting and watching a movie today and doing nothing because i don't feel good :).
