Finally feeling better

Made it out of bed today took a shower and went to doctor. Got swabbed for Covid, flu and strep. All my tests came back negative but I have a hole in my eardrum with infection. I’m taking several different meds and I’m definitely thankful for the nausea meds.

Thank all of you that left messages wishing me well. It means a lot.🌺

My ears are filled with fluid from long term sinusitis. I use Bluetooth hearing aids because of it. How does one get a hole in the ear drum?

@Gibbon my ear blew out after an infection when I was a child.

@tobynshorty Oh so it's been there a long time. I won't do the procedure to drain my ears because the grommet makes a drain hole and I'm afraid of infection plus it won't clear my hearing immediately and I won't be able to use my hearing aids which not only allow me to hear the room but also use my phone.
Your story confirms a small hole could be a source for infection.

@Gibbon they want to do a patch on my eardrum but I won’t let them.
