Sitting on the bus, minding my own business, swallowed some water and then bam!
A small gush of blood and puss is running down the side of my face.
Woohoo!

Burst ear drum!

Tasty.

Isn't that meant to be one of the most painful things evar, etc?

You're thinking of childbirth.

Oh I dunno. Childbirth is unbelievably oh-my-god-I'm-going-to-die painful, but it comes in waves, with breaks, you get drugs, and it does have a distinct end, which comes with not inconsiderable amounts of sickly euphoria. Earache and toothache are just invasive, constant and nobody gives you enough tea and sympathy, damn it. If it came to a choice.... well, it won't, will it, nobody will ever say to me "would you rather have screaming earache for two weeks or give birth again?", so I can safely say that I'd choose the sprogging ;)

Cool!

No... wait...

Oh dear! Deaf now?

Only for a month or so; they heal themselves.
And the preceeding ear infection I'd had since the start of January had left me deaf anyway.

Yes, you'd mentioned that. I didn't realise that burst ones got better. That's good. Do you have problems telling where sound is coming from, or is the directional sense still good with only one working?

Not really sure, I don't need to source sound a lot.
I do get confused with more than one person talking at once.
I'm getting an achey neck from tilting my good ear at everyone and everything.

Was there a sudden change of air-pressure, or someone releasing a concussion grenade nearby?

Why did it burst?

Because I've had a raging middle ear infection for a fortnight.

Look, right, everyone is very impressed with your catalogue of bizarre and unfortunate health problems the way it stands. There is just no need to carry on like this, it's wanton showing off. Do you hear me? Pack it in.
