ear infection

Went to the doctor yesterday to get some antibiotics. Have an ear infection. Specifically, the inside of my left ear LOBE is all purple and green and swollen.
Current theory is that during practice I get boxed or squished in the earlobe, and then what was a miniscule scrape or cut got infected and is now a multi-colored, puss-filled catastrophe.
Doctor couldn't find any obvious entry wound so I just got some generic antibiotics, but if those don't kill off the infection in a few days, will have to go to a Dermatologist and see about having the whole damn earlobe removed.
Can't sleep with my head turned to that side; squishing the ear hurts too much. So now my neck is sore from sleeping with my head in one position all night...

new hat

On our way to lunch in Aoyama, passed Yamada Hat Shop, a proper haberdashery. Yamada-san recommended the summer weave pseudo-Panama, in Yamada original blue.
I now sport proper head gear.
