this picture has nothing to do with my swollen lymph node ( though I did take it when it was swollen but was under painkillers so I could still sit up) just that this candid shot make my pillow look fluffy
My lymph node under my left ear is swollen right now and my left ear is blocked. I have lost my ability to stand straight and sleep well all thanks to an ear inflammation.
Dont get me wrong here, I'm not trying to get sympathy or whatsoever but I thought I shall blog this down to remind myself in the future , to take good care of my ears.
The pain is incredibly painful. Does that even make any sense? It is super torturous and all I feel like doing is ripping my skin ( or someone else's skin) off. My only comfort , besides not very fast and effective painkillers, is ice.
This is how I look like while blogging the--horrible looking huh
you see that slight bump at my jawline? Thats where the swelling is. I'm not too sure if you can see it as it's quite hard to take a picture of it but if I could run your finger across the bump , trust me, you'll be grossed out.
This is the other side where there is no swelling. My photography skills to begin with are already pretty bad and given my current state and position, I sincerely apologise for the horrendous shots but can you tell the difference? Or are you just focusing on my not-so-defined jawline,pimple scares,pores and rounded nose? *STARES*
Well, I'm currently, have been and will be in the same pose as I've shown you up there and I think ( but pray hard won't) that my left arm will get cramps.
This post is to remind everyone to please and I repeat PLEASE DO TAKE CARE OF YOUR EARS AND APPRECIATE THEM. Clean them regularly but not too hard!!
May you never ever have to experience this kind of discomfort, pain and agony in your lifetime! (Aside from that maybe 1/2/3 or maybe even >4 times during childbirth which I think would be quite umcomfy and painful too. The only difference , or should I say a plus point of the latter, is that after all that crap, a life is born =happiness. Whereby in my case, after all this crap , no life is born so only tears wasted.)
