Back to the doctor today - I thought the infection was getting worse because the eardrops weren't going in all the way - and she said it looked mostly healed! The infection was gone, it was a normal color, and the wound was healed almost completely. DOH!

I'll keep on the eardrops for 5 more days like she said.

I called the shipping company and they are bringing my bookcase (the RIGHT one, I hope) Monday.

So things are looking up in general. :)
