It's bad when you spend days trying to get the "water" out of your left ear. I could hear something rolling around in there, and it was tickly and making me NUTS! This has gone on for more than a week now. I dug around last night with a qtip, and nothing- then I started to think maybe some cotton from a previous qtip had been left in there. After all, this "water" didn't seem like it was coming out, so maybe it wansn't water?
Today while teaching Noah, trying to read him his phonics and hearing "screeettiichhsrreeittttchcchhh" every time I moved my jaw to speak, I had had enough. Luckly, dog groomer by trade, I have hemostats around for pulling hair out of ear canals. I sterilized it. DISCLAIMER: Don't stick anything in your ears, it's not a good idea.
ANyway, like I said, I could take no more. Veeeery carefuly went in once to see if I could grab anything. Nothing. One more time, oh so gently. Out came a 2" long hair of Echo!!!! LOL
How in the world it got there, I have no idea! But I much relieved to have that tickly, noisy thing OUT.
Brings new meaning to the words "Dog hair, everywhere!"
