Woe is me

I see that Kirk already posted an update on my delightful health status. After returning from my second trip this week to urgent care, I can confirm to you that I have a double ear infection. I was told by the doctor "I wouldn't be surprised if your ear drum ruptures today". That sounded scary to me, but my sister tells me that her kids' ear drums have ruptured several times during bad ear infections. Apparently then at least the pain will go away. Pink eye and an ear infection... what am I, five years old? Aren't these things only kids get? Anyway, it really sucks. I feel miserable and I have no time to be sick right now considering how much I need to get done in Madison before returning to Basel. Does anyone feel sorry for me?
