I have been able to swim with the help of ear putty and a special ear guard - I just feel that my fitness level just has not gotten back to the point where it was before the infection - and I am tired all the time. I will be in Boston this weekend and Italy

On the mend
Well, my ear infection has healed and though the perforation is still healing I was able to swim with the assistance of ear putty and a special ear guard. Sine Tuesday I have actually swam, biked and ran (If you can call what I do running - which it is not). I'm looking forward to feeling my muscles getting hard again!

Here's a copy of my facebook posts for the last few days.
February 28
Worst ear ache I've ever had...
February 28
Diagnosis: "Wicked ear infection" there goes swimming tonight. Actually, there goes anything that requires me to move my head even the littlest bit.
February 28
OK so now my ear is bleeding.
Wednesday
The doctor confirmed that my ear drum is indeed ruptured. if I wait for it to heal naturally there is no guarantee that it will heal in time for my triathlon, and I can't swim with a ruptured ear drum. There goes the training, there goes the triathlon. I am going to see an ENT specialist this afternoon to see if a synthetic ear drum can be put in.
Wednesday
The doctor is going to check mr again next week. He is confident that I will be able to swim again after that.

This ear infection has knocked me out. Going to bed now...good night.
8 hours ago
Went to bed at 7:30 last night. I'm still in bed and don't see myself getting up any time soon.
2 seconds ago (6:07pm)
I'm still in bed. I 'm guessing that tomorrow's bike ride will be too much for me. I was too wiped out to run today and, of course, swimming is out. My training is quickly going down the tubes. I can already feel my muscles turning flabby.
