Bruised but not broken

So I pushed a little to hard today, trying to go diving when my head wasn't clear. I've been having some sinus congestion issues for the past week, but I thought it was cleared up enough. And today was going to be my last chance to dive the great barrier reef. Had some pain when my ears wouldn't equalize, and a few moments of vertigo while down about 15 meters. Went to the doctor as soon as we got off the boat, I've bruised my left eardrum pretty bad but at least there are no perforations. No diving for at least 10 days, hopefully the ear will be healed then and my sinus will be clear.
