That is so funny, that you asked him to take it from a sagging area. I feel your frustration. I got the turkey wobble and deflated abdomin going on. I'm tempted to walk outside with my neck up to the sun so if I get a skin cancer I can get a neck lift, like I did for my forehead. It made my eyes open wider which with gravity were falling.
I'm sorry about your eardrum and the infection I hope everything goes well and you heal superfast
