Well, Brenton got to it first. I have been in some major pain for the past few days in my right ear. So last night I told him to bring me home some ear candles. It's the most random thing to do, but it really sucks the ear wax out! I think I will be doing this rather than stuffing it in with a Qtip.
They are cool and all, but it didn't take my pain away so I had to call Valerie Welch. Let me publicly say SORRY Val for waking you up- Not only in the evening but this morning as well!
After the ear candling, I decided to try some Hydrogen Peroxide in my ear, that was a weird feeling. I took some Tylenol and headed to bed, BUT I woke up this morning and couldn't hear out of my right ear. It was freaky at first, but now it just seems like I am underwater.
Well, after all of this, I finally got the Dr to give me a prescription for an outer ear infection. He is covering his tracks and giving me pills and drops. (Long story but I was at the Dr for 2 hours yesterday- and he told me nothing was wrong) I told Brenton this pain was almost worse than labor. YIKES! So, now I am off to get some drugs that will hopefully clear my ear so I can hear again!
It's strange how you learn to appreciate a function your body does when it's not working right. I would be really bummed if I was permantly like this. Thank you Lord that I have all 5 senses and that they work right!
Hey Steph-
ReplyDeleteI did a little research online about ear candles- and it sounds like they could do more harm then good.
I hope the meds help - earaches can be really bad. Now you know why Jake and Izzy cry when their ears hurt.
You'll be in our prayers!
