I havent been in Iraq like a few people thought. I was climbing the Zugspitze, a mountain in Germany, and when I got to about 1000m my ears popped and I went deaf!!
So I had to go to hospital and have an ear operation, and I have been home recovering. Everythings back to normal now though, my ears are just a bit sore. I had to wear the biggest bandage around my head as well, I can tell you I looked like a right Tw*t!! Should have took a photo and used it as my Avatar.
Only have to wear a wooly hat now, but as its really warm in Germany at the mo, I still get a few funny looks, T shirt shorts and a wooly hat!!!
Havent played the whistle for a while either, I carnt even blow my nose!! The problems had something to do with the way you equalise your ears, mine werent working very well, so as I went higher it but more pressure on my ears until they gave in and popped!!! it really hurt as well, and for the descent from the mountain I didnt have any coordination or balance, as your ears provide your balance as well!! it was quite tricky.
Oh well.... :roll:
Good to see you all again!!
Wow!
