In California, there were two highschool football teams flying to Washington. I was surrounded by teenagers for a good while. I am sure I got something from one of them. Regardless, fever broke Sunday am and I was feeling ok. I was tired, but on the upswing. I started driving to NC on Monday for work and then my voice started to go. I couldn't talk yesterday at all, but today is an improvement. Now that my voice is returning, my left ear canal feels like it has water inside and it is beginning to ache. I can hear, but the sound is muted. I flushed my nasal cavity with salt water and that helped my sinuses. If my ear isn't improved when I wake up, I will drive to the closest urgent care and choke down the out of network bill.
