Sick...again...

I am completely healed from getting my tonsils out, thankfully, but last wednesday I went to mutual (we are doing a dance festival, SO much fun!) and when I was leaving my ear started to hurt really bad and I could hear my heart beating in my ear. It was kinda a swishing sound actually. I knew immediately what was going to happen because it happened last year too, my ear drum was going to rupture. So I told my mom to try to get a hold of my doctor even though it was probably 9:30 by this time but she called the office so maybe she could get a doctor that was on call but apparently they don't have any doctors on call at the ENT place. So then she called my regular doctor, the one who delivered me and has been my doctor since, and tried to get him but wasn't able to talk to him either. Not sure how it happened but somehow my mom started talking to some nurse in Tennessee...ya pretty weird. She just told us that if it was going to rupture it was going to rupture and there was nothing we could do about it. So I took some medicine to try and cut the pain and went to bed. Sure enough I woke up around 3 and my ear hurt super bad but I couldn't hear my heart beating anymore and there was some yucky fluid stuff in my ear. I went back to sleep and when I woke up for school I felf awful and decided that I was going to stay home so maybe we could try to get an appointment. I went back to sleep and slept the whole day. My mom called the doctor and they said they couldn't get me in until 5pm I was pretty mad but at least I was able to go to the doctor. We waited there FOREVER it seemed like and everyone in the waiting room was sick and coughing and doing other loud things that hurt my ears so my mom asked the nurse if I could get a room to wait in so it would be quieter. They gave me a room and I layed there crying until the doctor came in. He looked in my ear and then suctioned out everything. It hurt SOOOO bad because it was loud and also because he stuck a needle in my ear and popped something and then suctioned all of that. Man it hurt. Then he gave me some antibiotics and we were off. I now have to take antibiotics three times a day for ten days. Hopefully I will be done being sick for a while. I am doing a lot better but I have a bad cold and a cough and my ear still hurts but I think I will go to to school on Monday because I missed two more days due to my stupid ear! I'm getting further and further behind!
