At least I thought I did.
It started Saturday night. My dad took me to a haunted house with grandkids, except it was a Covid-friendly drive-through haunted house. No one got out of their cars.
It was cold-ish, but I was feeling warm, so I rolled down my window (or…levered down my window? I guess we don't roll our windows anymore). I was on the passenger side, where the air was hitting my ear.
As I got home, my dad started a bonfire in the backyard for the kiddos. We all sat around it. I noticed at this time, I would feel a sensation if I leaned my ear close to the fire, as it felt like it was frostbitten.
That night, I slept with a headband on, thinking my ear was just cold. The next day the pain had grown: my entire right side, from my ear, lymph nodes, to my jaw, had swelled up.
Sunday came, and then I got a fever of 102. I was having the chills despite it being not that cold out. I made me cocktail of Melatonin, Vitamin D3, and Nyquil. I wore a tight compressed shirt and fleece to bed, to sweat out the flu.
I slept a long time - 16 hours. But it was an uncomfortable sleep. I kept waking up every 4 hours with pain in my right ear, and having to pee. Finally I got a cup and just peed in that. Can't be getting up to pee. By the end of it, I was hot again, and I took off my shirt.
I was in the worst pain I have probably ever been in my life, at least the longest duration of it.
My whole right side was numb with pain, it hurt to chew and brush my teeth. I couldn't open up my mouth fully. My boss said I can't go back to work until I get the Covid test.
Monday I had the Covid test along with a prescription for antiboiticás, steroids, and I got a steroid shot in my butt. My right ear was so infected, they had to put a wooden stint in it to make space for my eardrops - as even the doctor couldn't see past the infection to check my eardrum.
I'm feeling much better today; the pain is practically gone, but I still can't hear out of my right ear and there's pressure there if I touch it.
The steroids even got rid of this Excema spot I had on my pinky finger.
Never lose your desire.

The symptoms don't come right away, or so I'm told.

You keeping containers of piss next to your bed is the only believable part of this story.

We all have it. But the media will never tell the truth and tell you that.
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.

Every other day I use it on my scalp, then I mix Magnesium Salt on the fresh wounds to stimulate the scalp and regenerate the cells. It's never been thicker!

First sign of old age is problems you've never had coming to disable you.
That plus wrinkles of course. Still using that dermaroller?

I hope not.
I guess I could live with that at this point. It's not like I'd have to give up my NHL career or anything.

No. I never had difficulty breathing in my life. My doctor said I have the lungs and voice of a Greek God.
I like driving now, because it's much quieter. I can't hear the other cars on the road. It's serene and peaceful.

Omg you poor baby! You must have been so scared. At least it probably isnt covid-19. Ive never heard that ear infections are a symptom. Are you having difficulty breathing?
