Slowly improving. Last night, I had to blow my nose, during which I heard a "pop" and a bunch of the ear drop liquid that had been collecting finally ran out, (yuck), For a little while I could hear good again. I had an ENT friend re-check it. He said the swelling is going down and it's red but it looks like it's healing - no obvious retained fish shit. I've slept a lot, and, hopefully soon it will be good as new. Thanks Patrick and Brad for your concers. Six more days on the antibiotics and ear drops and I shouldn't have a bug left in my ears or body.
