You know the tune: The leg bone is connected to the hip bone, the hip bone is connected etc...
Last night I got a pretty bad sore throat and my right ear was sore. I thought I had an ear infection or was getting the flu. This afternoon I had a dentist appointment for a cleaning (every 6 months like clockwork) and I told him I had cut my gum back where my wisdom tooth was on the bottom right. He asked if I had a sore throat. I said, "yes and my ear hurts". Turned out the cut is infected and the inflammation is causing my pain. Who woudda thought?!?
