Summer Fun is Over for Me

This is in regards to the last post with the odd looking picture. Thanks for the guesses, however it is the inside of my ear....the eardrum!! I was wakeboarding a week and a half ago and I fell flat on my right ear. I immediately felt intense pain followed by a lack of hearing. I waited a couple days to see if it would go away, but it didn't so I headed to an ENT doctor. Not much to my surprise I had busted the eardrum wide open. Doc said it was a nice size hole, however he thinks it will heal on its own in 6 weeks. He went ahead a placed a paper patch over the hole in the eardrum right there in the office. Let me tell you...when your eardrum is touched it can pretty much make you jump thru the roof. I was gripping the chair for dear life and then when he was done I was a lightheaded mess.
Praying I have a closed up eardrum come 6 weeks otherwise it will be ear surgery number 2 for me:(.
No submerging my head in water for 6 weeks and so this puts an end to my summer fun out on the lake:(. BOO HOO!!!
