So guys, remember how I said some stuff didn't go well irl lately? I'm gonna elaborate a bit on that.
3 weeks ago I got an ear infection, the equivalent to athlete's foot but for swimmers and got that checked up on the same week. Then 2 weeks ago I had to work feeling a little itchy and uncomfortable but I felt well enough for it to not be trouble: It was mostly just itchy after taking the meds for my ear. Last week it was solved and I went to get my ear cleaned and I felt nice for a couple of days.
Thing is, I went to swim again after that, and on Monday I started feeling pain in my ear again; during the noon and afternoon I thought it was just some water inside my ear so I disregarded it and continued my day as usual but around nightime it got so bad I just knew I wouldn't be able to sleep.
At midnight, I decided to go to Emergency Room since even after taking some Paracetamol it didn't get any better, and it was painful enough for me to not be able to work either. I got told that I basically injured the inside of my ear while swimming and I got External Otitis.
They injected me some painkillers and such which really helped me but as I'm writing the post, it seems like I might need to go back if it doesn't get any better; this at least until Friday where I get properly checked up by a specialist (I don't know the name for ear doctor in English, sorry).
What I wanted to say it's: If the doctor doesn't give me a good way to deal with this, I think I actually be unable to work until this is solved; I hate to say it but when the pain gets sharp, it gets SHARP.
I really hate that this happened this month and technically I could go and spend 60-100 everyday to get injected the real painkillers until my ear gets healed enough so I don't need them anymore so I can work on the game, but I know that'd be irresponsible.
I'm sorry for this news after the last ones were not so good either, I'll keep you guys updated on how this goes on Friday-Saturday but for now I just need to make it clear that today things doesn't seem very good.
I'm praying for things to be get better enough so I can work but I really can't guarantee anything right now.
Sorry for the bad news again, I'll try to get as much work done as possible even with the ear/head pain but I really can't focus at all...
