<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

To say this is a "FU" is an extreme understatement.

At about 10 last night, I was getting ready for bed. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, etc. and my ears felt a little clogged. Even though my doctor told me to never clean my ears with a cotton swab, I figured, meh, she probably doesn't know what she's talking about. I mean, she only has a PhD, and my ears itch. I'm cleaning them out the only way I know how.

I pulled a cotton swab out of the package and started to lightly remove ear wax from my ear. It actually felt quite nice, and I was tediously making sure that I didn't push it down too far so I wouldn't cause any damage to my eardrum... And that's when it happened.

I heard a draining-type sound in my ear and immediately wanted to slap myself for being so stupid. I knew as soon as I had done it that I had accidentally pushed wax too far into my ear.

It didn't hurt too bad at the time, so I shook it off and figured it would be better by morning... Oh, and how wrong I was.

At about 1 a.m. this morning I woke up, tears streaming down my face. I typically have a very high tolerance for pain, but this... this was unbearable. I took some pain killers and planned to go to the doctor when they opened.

My doctors exact words when she checked my ears: "Oh, OUCH... Oh my gosh!"

Basically, now I have a very severe ear infection and I cannot hear out of my right ear and will most likely not be able to for one or two weeks, and I am currently running on about 4 hours of sleep. Also, I am a huge idiot.
<bot>: used a cotton swab after being advised not to; packed a very large amount of wax into my ear and now have a very bad infection.
