thanks, guys(and girls)... I'm just fine, though i think i'd even describe the times my nose was broken as more pleasant then this, this was one of the worst experiences by far. Mostly because i felt like such an idiot, and the thing was making me really dizzy being up my ear so high. After 2 hours up yer ear i was blacking out and a real mess...
I'm not giving up iems, though i'll never try that tip again... I think ill try the foam tips, but im giving my ear atleast a week to become normal again, also im a bit concerned about ear wax, so i'm gonna limit myself to not using these more then once or twice a day (not for more then an few hours).
If not for nothign, i hope people learn this can happen, and to be damn careful with your ears (unless you don't mind having this stupid thing happening to you). I'm sure in the history of head-fi it may happen again, i assure you people it really, really sucked. I have thick skin and have had nasty injuries, i can't really downplay how bad this sucked.
BTW, that really sucks about your hand man, i can see you must have really messed up the thum muscles and such.. Does your hand work normal? As a programmer, i think an injury like that would destroy my career, or atleast handicap me, my hands are to me most important part of my body... (don't make stupid jokes, haha).
I've had my share of hand trouble, though not that critical. I got in a nasty car wreck where my entire left thumb got dislocated and tore my whole ligament up, was basiclly me grabbing the wheel in a 65+ mph impact. My hand swell up to the size of a volleyball practically, and never the same again... Also, my friend got
his finger caught in a device used to adhere formica to particle board, he lost the tip of his finger, needed skin grafts etc... Yuck. Different level of injury when you lost part of your body for good, i'm fortunate i didnt have my ears destroyed when i foolish had my mom/dad trying to pry that thing out of my ear.
Makes me feel very lucky.
