Today, I have an ear infection, and everything I hear echoes inside my head. I'm an orchestra teacher, and we have our first concert next week. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have an ear infection. The pain from it radiates from my ear all the way down the left side of my face, so my doctor prescribed me something that makes half of my face numb and pretty much unusable. Tomorrow, I have to give a presentation on strokes for my med class. Go figure. FML
Today, I learned that I have a sinus infection, ear infection and bronchitis so bad it was on the verge of pneumonia. My work won't let me call in sick. I work with kids. Lovely. FML
Today, while suffering from a serious migraine. I have to cook dinner and listen to the singing of two very tone deaf individuals. I'm starting to contemplate sticking forks in my ears. FML
Today, I woke up completely deaf, for no reason. My doctor told me my hearing loss, "could possibly be permanent." I’m a composer. FML
Today, I was teaching my two year-old daughter how to take a person's temperature. While I was sitting down, she came up behind me and shoved the thermometer in my ear hard. Now I can't hear out of my right ear, and I'm in excruciating pain. FML
Today, and since I went to a club with a few friends for the first time two days ago, I now have tinnitus, which still persists and I'm worried it might be permanent. FML
Today, something blocked my ear. I couldn't get it out, so I went to Urgent Care so I didn't pop my eardrums. Turns out my allergies made my ears stop draining. After they rinsed my ears, I can now hear almost nothing. FML
Today, my excruciating ear pain turned out to be a bastard maggot eating away at all the vital things behind my eardrum. The doctor pulled it out, but I’m now permanently deaf in that ear and can’t balance. I fall if I try to stand or walk further than 5 feet. FML
Today, and all day, I was forced to listen to one of the kids in my apartment building play their recorder loudly and horribly. She started over whenever she missed a note. I was sick, was getting a migraine from it, and couldn't ask her to stop without her mom yelling at me. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my tinnitus has suddenly worsened. I used to be able to just ignore it, but now it's ridiculous. Almost everyone says I'm "too young" to have it, especially this bad. I say those people can go fuck themselves. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If your confident enough in your orchestras abilities, tell them to play the first concert w/o you, because of your ear infection. They'd understand. I hope.

Put those small headphones in and just "wave your hands like you just don't care" or feel free to "snap your fingers in a Z formation." or or wait give me a second....

I hope you weren't having phone sex, hearing aids is spreading the nation fast you should get yourself checked.

Depending on the severity of the ear infection, a nice home remedy for an ear infection that I do is you take a lime, tilt your head and squeeze a few drops in your ear. Let it sit there for a minute or two then drain your ear really well. It should heal in a few hours. Works for me every time (when I get swimmer's ear). Good luck OP!!

OMGIFOUNDWALDO 6
it really sounds like a bad sickness indeed
mr_torch91 1
An ear infucktion? Have tried to finger it out?
Daralea 21
I'm sure there exists substitute teachers till you heal up. Sure, you may miss the concert, but such is life. Considering you can go deaf from ear infections, best not irritate or stress the ear further.

Why 6th graders y not 7-12 I'M IN 6TH
iFizzgig 11
73- because most of them ARE tone deaf. And it makes me giggle, really, REALLY....*whispers*...hard... -.-
NotSuchAFunTime 9
73: Because 7-12 actually have some experience and normally, high schoolers are rather good at playing. And 6th graders tend to be beginners. You'll understand when you're older little 6th grader (;
