So far, the holidays have been a blast. Been kicking it the whole time with my son. Spending a lot of time with famalam and just overall eating and drinking the days away. Been relaxing for the most part. So how did I end up in the emergency room last night? Well during one of my wrestling sessions with my son, I suddenly couldn’t hear a damn thing in my right ear. Obviously, this was devastating considering how I make my living and spend 98% of my time so as much as I resist doctors and overpriced hospitals, I had to take the trip because I could not risk losing my hearing on a “too ornery to get help,” technicality.

So after a couple hours getting examined we realize there is a earring stud lodged in my ear canal. Fortunately the stem was pointed away from my eardrum so there was no damage done and the stud came out easily. So it all ended well thankfully but the fear of hearing loss that me and Panek have discussed for years seemed like a reality for me last night for a brief moment.

Man… Fucking with them earrings.
