So I had an appt today with the naturopath and she decided to do a bit of a once-over. My blood pressure is great (121/77 or something like that). She took a look in my eyes – all clear. Took a gander in my right ear – clean ears! Then she moved to my left ear and said ‘Wow’.
Uh, sorry? What do you mean ‘Wow’?
As a backstory, I’ve been having trouble with my left ear and wax build up. I was told many moons ago not to use Q-tips, just to reach in with my babyfinger and rinse stuff out. Fine. Until a few months ago, when I woke up one morning and my ear was plugged. Plugged, plugged, plugged. I let hot water in the shower rinse all over it, nothing. I tugged my ear into different positions and could feel it sort of unplug, but not really. Then over time it goes away (or I stop noticing it). Then after a while it all starts again.
Anyhow, back to the ‘Wow’. She tells me she sees a lot of build up in that ear, and that she’s going to try and remove it with this very long skinny thing. And then she removes the three biggest chunks of ear wax I have ever seen. Even SHE was amazed. They were bigger than a vitamin pill – I mean, they were all bigger than that.
She kept wondering why on earth this would only happen in one ear. Usually it happens in both, blah blah blah… I wasn’t really paying attention because I was fixated the three small planets she has just removed from my inner ear.
If I had had a camera, I totally would have taken photos. Is that weird?
