The Weirdest Thing

In the last 3 weeks my ear/jaw has been hurting and I wasn't sure what was wrong. I thought that maybe I was grinding my teeth or clenching while I slept from the stress that had newly arrived in my life. It would come and go and so I thought not much of it. Well it came back last night after me not feeling it for a week and Jim was here. The pain was worse than ever, I couldn't eat or even open my mouth. He got out his little medical i phone app, typed in all my symptoms and decided that I probably had the mumps. Now Parker couldn't get his MMR immunizations because it is a live vaccine and it would do damage with his new heart. I put him to bed at the hospital hoping to talk to a doctor, but they can't check out adults by law. So one of my new nurse friends got me into an urgent care place, she called them and told them that my baby just had a heart transplant and they all felt sorry for me and got me in right away in front of all the other people waiting. Ha ha I guess there is some benefits to having a sick child. So the Doctor comes in and looks in my throat, looks in my ear and says oh my you have something in there. now I'm starting to worry, thinking its a bug that crawled in. So he gets some tweezers and pulls out a 5 mm flower. I think that's what it is anyway. It looks like the middle pollen thing... so weird how that got in there and how it was making my ear and jaw swell up I have no idea. I'm pretty grossed out by it and I hope he got it all cause it still hurts when I eat. When the doctor left he says "don't worry Jess you'll be fine, and don't you know flowers are for planting not putting in your ears, so stop doing that". I was still in shock, so I just left and and took a pain med. SOOOOO weird!!

Anyone have any other idea what it could be???
