One ear is never enough

I was going to come on here and lament my continuing difficulty of recovering from the ear infection. This time the frustration of having only one really working ear. In the last two days, since I've started venturing out again on foot (no driving for me yet) I've felt like I've been walking on an angle and it's disconcerting not to have surround sound when crossing the road. Then last night I was noticing how difficult it is to have a conversation with someone when I'm not sitting near them, looking at them. That will make this weekend with my husband at home one of many repeated sentences, I fear. But I realise I shouldn't be whinging (I said months ago I wouldn't do that here). I should be glad I still have one working ear! Also I have the hope, still, that this will clear up and not prove permanent.
