You definitely have my sympathies.
When people talk about the "good old days" they forget that medicine in the good old days (pre penicillin) was almost useless.

Thank you both.
When I was a child I used to have regular middle ear infections. This morning the doctor confirmed I have an infection of the outer ear/ear canal. It wasn't too bad according to my new doctor, just irritated, slightly swollen but hardly any gunk. I got drops I have to put in my ear 3 times a day and tonight I've got the feeling they are finally starting to work. My ear still feels as if it's stuffed with cotton wool but the pain is mostly gone. Hopefully by Saturday I can hear better because I have to work.
My sister and I had planned a trip to The Hague tomorrow but we postponed it, which is a shame because the weather's great at the moment.
Now I'm off to bed with a good book and a cup of tea hoping I'll sleep more than 3 hours and that I won't have weird dreams like the one I had last night.
