Being sick really sucks. I’m much better now. No fever, less congestion, hardly any coughing. But my left ear. It is clogged up and has been for more than a week. Luckily, I was out of work only one day because the stopped up ear caused some dizzyness. Dizzyness . . . bad idea for a rigger, eh? Now I feel well except for being mostly deaf in my left ear.
This ear trauma has caused me to act a little weird or more weird than usual. It just feels like I’m in my own little soundproof chamber. I suppose I have withdrawn more because I am not able to engage in any type of conversation. I already feel I am annoying the Holy Extroverted Elder One by constantly saying, “Huh?” or “What?” or even ignoring her accidentally.
I keep promising myself that I will call the doctor to have him poke something large, pointy and rusty in my ear to clear it up. But, I keep telling myself, “It’ll clear up tomorrow.” Ugh. Still deaf! This certainly has made me appreciate stereo a whole bunch more.
For now, it’s mono for the introverted one . . . sigh.
