Eeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
You know, I sometimes wonder if there is something up there, in the great unknown, the powers that be etc, that just doesn't like me.
Yesterday I went swimming for the first time in years. It was great. I am nowhere near as fit as I used to be and that showed, but then that's why I'm going swimming - to improve my fitness. But water to me is not hard work. It never has been. It's the most relaxing element for me and it's more like play so I love going.
After yesterday I came home daydreaming about swimming every day now I have started.
*sighs*
Now we come to the oogie bit.
I was sitting at my desk afterwards, and thought as I have had trouble with itchy ears from time to time I best use a cottonbud/qtip to dry the inside of them properly.
That's when I discovered what must have been about ten cubit feet of ear wax in each ear!
Ewwwwwww!
Now, I am not a clean one's ear out daily with cottonbud/qtips type of person. I leave nature to do it's job. But this was just too much, so I diligently and gently cleaned out my ears.
In the process left ear seemed to 'block' - you know that feeling when you need to pop your ear and it goes all muffled? Well, I persisted with the cleaning and it 'unblocked', so I figured it must have had wax blocking the eardrum but it was all fixed now.
I woke during the night with a 'blocked' left ear again. It was driving me nuts. I ended up actually getting up and cleaning it out again - and removing another ten cubic feet of ear wax!
Again this morning when I woke, it was 'blocked' again.
*sighs*
So, off to the doctor for moi.
Despite the twenty cubic feet of wax I have already removed apparantly I have impacted ear wax in my left ear.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
I have to get some drops and put in both ears at night for a week to soften the wax - yes, there is some in the right ear too, but not a solid plug of it.
Then I have to go back next week to have them both syringed clear.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
So I have to put up with this dead ear until then... :(
The really crappy thing about it is that I sleep with a pillow over my head to deaden sound, so at the moment my mind, 'hearing' the deadened sound effect, thinks it's time to sleep.... ALL the time!!!
But seriously.. 'impacted' ear wax??????
Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Talk about gross and uncool!
Not to mention annoying.
But at least I can still keep swimming in the meantime!
