it did get better. Tuesday morning I went out for breakfast with a high school friend i hadn't seen in over 15 years! i felt so good i didn't go to the doctors, didn't use the ear drops, didn't take the tylenol - and now it is back today! not as bad but i am back to using tylenol and the ear drops. i made a rice bag with flannel and heated it in the microwave for a little bit monday night and that helped a lot. gonna do it tonight.
