the child within

There are some maladies that I am convinced should only be suffered by little children. One of these is the painful earache. Yes, my left ear is full of nasty Ache. Yesterday morning I woke up with a dull Ache in my right ear, which thankfully scarpered rather quickly. This morning I awoke to find Ache had simply spend the day hiking through my head to my left ear. On its way it managed to gain some extra, long-lasting pain. Cheeky Ache. Two paracetamol, one deliciously hot Lemsip, a microwaved Bagpuss and the contemplation of enjoying some of that {pretend} Bailey's which lingers in the kitchen, has helped to offset some of the pain, but it still exists. My ear crackles. I suffered from earache quite a lot as a child, but it's been a rare occurrence in adulthood. I do believe I had an attack last year which I wrote about on the site that shall not be named, and I remember thinking at the time that I couldn't remember the last time that Ache attacked. My ear throbs. Ache of Ear should be banished to the Land of Children and should only be allowed to affect little ones. It's a ridiculously stupid thing to suffer with as an adult. Honestly!
