I've been suffering from stuffy ears for almost a month now. The weekend before last it got so bad that I had to check in with the doctor at school. He said I had a bad ear infection and put me on anti-biotics, a week later, I'm still stuffed-up, sick, disoriented and in pain so I went to see my family doctor. He said that I had an unusually bad ear infection and prescribed a stronger anti-biotic. If my ear doesn't clear up in 4 to 5 days, then I'll have to go on mega-antibiotics, steroids and see a specialist. If that doesn't do it, then I'll need to have ear tubes put in.

His lordliness, tact, and generosity there give us a window into Achilles before his fight with Agamemnon and the death of Patroclos consumed him. -Nestor is a boring, rambling, old man who's better days are far behind him, and yet every Achaean treats him with the upmo...
