twenty oh nine

So my 22nd birthday starts off with me squirting olive oil based ear drops into my ears and awkwardly tilting my head so the oil doesn’t drip back out.

Why am I being so retarded when I’m already so old, one may ask!  

Here’s why: I’ve got giant pieces of hardened was stuck in my ear canals which has been causing temporal but significant hearing loss.  And as a bonus, tinnitus has kicked in so besides being kinda deaf, there’s this constant ringing noise going on in my head gahhhh!!  

To be honest it’s driving me nuts not being able to hear what others are saying, or even what I MYSELF am saying.  My breathing sounds exceptionally loud and heavy like I’m on the verge of having a heart attack and my heartbeat thumps away with revebaration and echo.  It’s all really weird.  I guess this must be what it feels like to be deaf.  I’ve been making everyone shout or speak in a v articulated way to me, otherwise all I get are moving lips w faint buzzing noises.

I sincerely hope this problem would be solved by the time my 23rd birthday rolls around.  !!!!!
