A severe ear infection prevented me from seeing friends today, and my ear continues to hurt.

Make it go away!
Awwwwwwwwww, I had ear infections when I was younger, those were the worst things EVER....I hope you get better, that really is an awful pain to take.
Have you tried heated-rice pads?
Also, you could put a hot wet rag inside of a cup and put it over your ear.
I feel you...I had severe ear infections when I was younger too, and it sucks that I've got one again. Thank you for the wishes too! I did a variation of the second thing you suggested a day ago which really helped. I looked up rice heating pads, and found that I can make a simple one out of a sock...so I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
I've been taking a lot of T3s and ibuprofen and using ear drops I saved from a previous infection...the pain is decreasing and I may be good to go for tomorrow.

Indeed. The trials of a bad ear. Did you have a hard time on planes as well? I know I was screaming and crying from the pain when I was really young, but I got some special earplugs that fixed it eventually. You are welcome! I have felt that pain and it sucks. Cool.

Indeed...and it doesn't have to be a sock, it could be mittens or rags or whatever material you are most comfortable with (though I recommend mitten). You're welcome.
Also good, I was wondering if you were on antibiotics

Good luck then.
