ear_infection epitome of incomprehensibility Attempted a cure with cranberry_juice, because I am science. My left ear still doesn't feel quite like normal, but it's hardly hurting anymore, and a nurse I know said that most ear infections go away on their own. But I remember these things being worse when I was a child. I remember being in the clinic waiting room, ear canal throbbing like the pain equivalent of a car alarm. When I finally was seen to, the doctor would peer into his ear-searching instrument and say, "Are there any Mickey Mouses in this ear? Are there any Mickey Mouses in the other ear?" and I'd be temporarily distracted because it amused me to think of Mickey Mouse in my ear - in the incorrect plural, at that. 141230 what's it to you? who go blather from
