I'm stretching my ears and when I stretched them from 8G to 4G the left ear tore a little and got infected. It oozed pus for a couple of days and then was fine (hooray, sea salt soaks!). I stretched them from 4G to 2G and the left one is already fine, has accepted this new gauge like a Champion of Ears but last night I apparently tore the right ear in my sleep and when I took my jewelry out this morning to clean it my ear just started bleeding, bled so much that I was nauseated momentarily, and I'm not a squeamish person. I think it was because I had just woken up and totally wasn't expecting Gore in My Ear right away.

So now I have mismatched spirals in my ear, the 2G in my left and the 4G in my right because my earlobe was so swollen that I TRIED to get the 2G spiral back in and the lobe wouldn't fit in the gap. Ew. And because I am so obsessive I am going to have to stay away from mirrors because if I see this mismatched jewelry too many times I will go insane.
