And now the pox is mostly gone and the scars are healing, the flesh is almost done shedding from my hands and my hearing is back in one ear and it's time now to fix the other...
It seemed like something that should just fix itself, earlier in the week, when I was entirely deaf, I could pinch my nose and blow or yawn and get hearing out of one ear or the other, but never both...peculiar, and after a too vigorous attempt to clean the left ear found that by default it became the deaf one...

I know I'll regret this when I go to work...
