Long story short.
Kelli has what Kelsi had.
Kelli's miserable.
The doctor yesterday bragged, "you have the worst adult ear infection I've seen in years."
This acclaim was not accompanied by a medal or a ribbon or even a certificate.
He was surprised her ear drum had not burst.
I was afraid if she blew her nose too hard, it might.
She's on medicine, and begun to heal. And I'm under the hypochondriacal* assumption that my own ears feel funny.
*yes, it really is a word.
