Ruptured Eardrum?

It’s 4:06am in Denver and I am awake. There is something dreadfully wrong with this fact. We were driving down the road on the way home from dinner tonight and I felt my ears begin to pop. I plugged my nose and blew and heard the sound of water…I thought I had water in my ears. When I got home I cleaned out my ears…they were hurting pretty bad. I put a small bit of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip to try and clean out my ears…I thought they were just dirty. But this hurt very badly. I took a shower and sprayed water in my ears…this also hurt. I tried going to sleep but could only hear a ringing and my heart beat when I laid down…this hurt very badly too. So I just decided to scrap the whole sleeping thing and now I awake at 4:10am. I can’t hear very well right now either. The typing on my keyboard sounds like it’s off in the distance a bit or like I am wearing ear plugs. Not fun…and my ears hurt. The best news is that I get to fly tomorrow. That should prove to be a good time. Pray that my ears will be better and this isn’t a big deal. We’ll I gotta run to do nothing except sit here.

    Bro, go get a doc to check out your ears and maybe syringe them or get a pharmacy to give you drops or something BEFORE you fly - otherwise pressures in the plane are going to be worse than snakes!
