Earaches

I am in the middle of a terrible ear infection. It is the kind of pain that makes me wish it were only a toothache. Yes, it's that bad. It brings back "fond" memories of having my ears flushed out with what felt like a fire hose when I was a kid. The nurse said it would tickle and hurt at the same time.

I never knew a feeling like that before then but, tickle and hurt it did indeed. I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. I would have giggled but I was told to sit still.

My grandmother is about to pass on and, once again, I find I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. And that's all I have to say about that.
