Here's a copy of my facebook posts for the last few days.

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.

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.

Went to bed at 7:30 last night. I'm still in bed and don't see myself getting up any time soon.

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.
