What am I, four?

I just got back from the doctor's office.  Diagnosis: double ear infections.  I don't think I blogged about it at the time, but I had this same problem back in February.  I take some medication that affects my immune system, so it appears that this is how my body "likes" to get sick.  I could barely even sleep last night because my ears hurt so bad--combined with the fact that my power was out AGAIN. 

I was talking to Mom about it earlier and how I used to get ear infections regularly in high school. I seemed to get them anytime I was tired and stressed (the end of Show Choir season, AP exams, etc.) or when the weather changed. I was even told by the doctor that one more ear infection would mean tubes for me--at 17.  Imagine how bad it would be now if I needed tubes at 25?!?  I can just see myself checking into Children's Hospital and sitting in the waiting room with the little kids--probably with parents my age!
