Where is Bel, and why can't she hear me?

----- UPDATE #3 -----
So I am home now safe and sound. Although I was somewhat nervous about the return flight I had no problems.

I have been to an ear specialist here and after a number of tests he assures me there is no lasting damage... YAY. And, I now have special drops that i have to take before take off and landing to help me in future.

thanks for thinking of me

----- UPDATE #2 -----
So, if everyting goes well, Bel should be coming home tomorrow. It turns out that her eardrum hadn't burst, but there was a lot of fluid and gunk in there that could have caused it to burst if she flew any further or earlier. She has been going to the Dr every day in Korea to get it looked at and get the gunk sucked out - YUM!

----- UPDATE #1 -----
Now Bel has to stay in Korea until Saturday. The ear doctor that she went to near her hotel isn't happy with her flying any earlier than that, due to her other ear still being a little blocked. :(

Right now Bel should be in the Philippines, but she isn't. So where is she, and why can't she hear me?

Well, right now she is probably sleeping in her hotel room somewhere in Seoul, Korea. Why in Korea, you may ask. Well, she was flying via Korea to the Philippines and was due to have a 7 hour stop over before continuing on. Problem is that her ear drum burst and she isn't allowed to fly any further, at least until Wednesday, when hopefully she can come back to Germany. Turned out that her being worried about her blocked ears and nose, due to a cold that she got in France, was justified...

Yes, she can actually hear me - she hasn't lost her hearing or anything like that, but is in a little bit of pain, as one can imagine.

So, I just thought I should update you all on that.

Tschüß,
Brushy.

Oh no, poor Bel!!

How does waiting a few days help with a burst ear drum? (I don't suppose it heals itself??)

Poor girl... hope she feels better soon!

It will heal itself eventually, but I don't know what the few days of waiting should bring.

Poor Bel! I hear (boom tish!) that it can be terribly painful... Hope she gets better soon.

poor Bel, hope she gets better really quickly. It is horrible being away and sick, especially ear problems. Send her our best wishes!
