CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

ok. bill's typing up some kind of rant about the doctor's office, so i'm gonna post now, too. i'll wait until he's pressed "save." THEN i'll save. so mine will be on top. teehee.

ok. the damn ear infection lasted all last week -- a new record. then sunday morning i woke up with my ear canal so swollen and painful it felt like it was bulging out -- like an "outie" belly button. OUCH. i tried to deal with the pain all day, but by 5:00 i was crying it hurt so bad. really felt stupid going to the emergency room with what i knew was basically "swimmer's ear." bill tends to worry. and because i'd not been able to shake the low-grade fever i had all week and my neck was killing me, he insisted we go to the emergency room. three hours later, the drops i knew i needed and some pain meds (yay!). today i saw my regular doctor who confirmed the swelling is down quite a bit and who gave me a prescription for more pain meds.

here's what happened later. it's my story, and i'm sticking to it. because i was all happy and medicated, bill talked me into getting my ear pierced on top. you know, through the cartilage. we told jax bill was getting his nipples pierced, but he didn't believe us. his actual words were, "i know you're fucking with me." dammit! we should DO it just to mess with him (and matt, mel, mark, katie, and whoever else we can freak out). but noooooooooooo, bill won't play.

so back to work tomorrow. happy and pain free. bill gets to play judge tomorrow (he'll sit as acting judge in our little burb for the day). it would have been fun to think about him wearing the robe with his nipples pierced underneath.

DAMMIT! I FORGOT ABOUT WAITING TIL HE POSTED!

Hope it wasn't the side that had been infected. Whenever I see a judge again I shall wonder what he's got on underneath.....

Hope you feel better soon, and y'all crack me up.

Bwaaaahahahahahaahaha! That is a great visual. My next trip to divorce court I'm going to imagine my judge with piercings.

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

Thanks Stace for the laugh! That rocks!

update: i sent bill a text page while he was on the bench asking him what he had on underneath his robe. he looked at the page and had difficulty behaving judge-like for a while. laughing and all. not conducive to swift, inexorable justice, yaknow.

Nude beneath the robes? Now that I can live with.
