My ear is almost 100% better.
Really.
There is a small bump still inside, but even that is almost gone. Especially after this morning.
What happened this morning, you ask?
Well, I was getting ready for work and absentmindedly touched my ear. Not hard or anything. Just brushed by it with my hand. So, imagine my surprise when I felt some sort of hot liquid pour out of “the bite”.
Alarmed, I rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a Kleenex and started dabbing at the source of the hot liquid in my ear. I was convinced I was going to see blood, pus or some combination thereof when I pulled the Kleenex away and looked at it. But, no. All that was there was some sort of clear liquid draining from last week’s wound.
After it finally stopped oozing, I decided to try and see the source. Of course, it hasn’t gotten any easier to see inside my own ear since last week. So, I had to resort to the same two mirrors and neck craning I described to you before. And what did I see? Two distinct puncture wounds in my ear.
That’s right: I was bitten by something with fangs, people! FANGS! And it bite me while I was asleep (creepy) IN MY EAR (really creepy). And thanks to Google, I am now almost 100% sure it was some sort of spider (extremely creepy).
Yeah, not cool. I’ll be having nightmares for weeks after this.

Ick, ick, ick! Now I'm going to be waiting for a hot liquid to pour out of my own spider bite once it starts to go down. *shudder*
It's like Wrath of Khan where the bug crawls in the people's ear and makes them go insane.
But ... the good news is it's healing. All that pus is a good sign your body is fighting it.

Creepy. Truly creepy. I don't know how you're going to sleep at night now. I don't know how I'm going to sleep at night.
