So what's new...
So what's new for us... well, my eardrum ruptured Friday night. Let's just say, I now have a greater appreciation of the pain our children face when they have ear infections. Apparently, I had an ear infection, but was unaware of it until about 9pm Friday when I started feeling a great amount of pressure in my ear. Within an hour the pressure built up enough that my eardrum burst. Yes, I was just about screaming right before the pop. Afterward, I was very grateful that the pain subsided. Now I can't hear anything with my right ear except everything in my head (i.e. swallowing, chewing, jaw bone joint moving, oh, and a constant ringing in my ear). Saturday morning, I had a trip to the doctor where I was told that it was a large rupture, and I might need surgery to repair it. I won't tell you what the surgery entails because after reading about it, I hope the doctor is wrong and my eardrum heals on its own. In the meantime, talk into my left ear, otherwise I might have to ask you to repeat yourself.

Sharon, I'm so sorry! I think I've had my share of ear infections but that's serious. I hope you don't have to have surgery! :(
That's terrible, Sharon! I have a faint memory of getting an ear infection as a teenager and it was so painful. Put Lil Robby in charge and go get some rest!
How awful! Hope everything works out!
That's terrible. I'm so sorry. I get ear infections quite a bit and they are awful. I hope it resolves quickly.
oh man. i'll second everyone else and say i hope you don't have to have the surgery too! good luck healing up.
That does not sound fun. Sorry.
That's awful, Sharon. Let us know what happens. You'll be in our prayers.
Oh, that sounds absolutely awful. I really hope it heals on its own.
This is me talking into your left ear, Are you feeling better? What's the update about surgery?
