Update on my ears

For those of you following along at home, you'll know I've been dealing with some inconvenient ear stuff. Since my surgery, I've had some discomfort, particularly in my right ear. This, along with feeling especially unwell in the past two weeks, had me concerned something may be wrong.

The good news is that both ears look "perfect." Further, there is no sign of infection. There are likely two things going on simultaneously:

• My illness is likely due to having been off my allergy meds in preparation for testing + reaction to allergen testing + ragweed season. It's an allergy trifecta!
• The inability to breathe properly can cause soreness is the TM joint. This is why my ears feel sore.

My official post-op follow-up is not for a couple weeks yet, but all appears well. 

Relatively, speaking.
