After lunch today the medic on board told me that I have an external ear infection. He irrigated my ears by filling a huge (10 c) syringe with a mixture of hot water and saline solution and then blasting a stream of liquid into my ear. It made rather a mess on his couch and floor... Now I put drops in each ear every six hours and take cold medication every six hours and 1 g vitamin C once per day. This is likely the result of lingering aftereffects of the cold I had three weeks ago, lack of sleep, and SCUBA diviong. At least I got my penguin photos before his diagnosis!
I would love to describe today here, but am feeling tired and will turn in
instead.
