By the way?
I think I broke my ear. SERIOUSLY! I think somehow with all the nocturnal weirdness, I broke the cartilage in my ear. I noticed it sometime during the night on Thursday, because I couldn't lay that side of my head on the pillow without it hurting. Then Friday, between the multiple conference calls I was on, I noticed that it hurt to put the phone on that ear.

It feels like it's broken where I pointed the arrow.

It hurts and I can feel it clicking when I smile or when I clench my jaw (something I'm trying SUPER hard not to do). And it hurts to touch it.

Otherwise? It feels just dandy. LOL

Yesterday, I was feeling around and noticed that the cartilage moves around and makes a weird 'crunching' sound. My other ear doesn't do that.

How the hell does one break their ear? I can't imagine that there's much that can be done about it (an ear cast? what?). And how does one go about explaining how they broke their own ear?

Geez, I really need someone to send me to the glue factory. STAT. This ol' mare is going downhill fast.

Ooh, weird. Can you see a crack in the cartilage if you shine a light behind your ear?

Now I've heard everything! Wonder if you can put a little splint on it, like a popsicle stick, and then wrap it in gauze. It'll make a great conversation starter. Plus, whenever you don't want to deal with what someone says, you can say, "huh?" or "eh, sonny?" and point at your bandaged ear until they go away. I would do just about anything not to hear the cartilage crunching.

RisibleGirl replied:
Yeah- it's a very weird sound. It's not so much as a crunching as a popping sound if that makes you feel any better.

I like the popsicle stick idea.... would that be considered homeopathic?

Ya, I did that once... they have an ear splint. If you don't get one, your ear will swell until you look like an elephant.

Sure, you can trust your carguy... sure.

I know about this thing- I dated a boxer once. It's called cauliflower ear. You bet I was thinking about that, but didn't even want to mention the idea. Can you just imagine? Eeek!

Yup, just like the Princess says... and you can hang an earring on the end of the stick... and we can call you Van Gogh.
