Rant 229 16/8/12 Subject: Bunged up ear

Rant number 230

Yesterday, I had a nice warm bath. That's not something terribly unusual or something I shall ever complain about. I really quite like my baths me.

Yesterday however, seems to have come with a bit of an unpleasant side effect.

You see, I appear to have melted some wax or something in my right ear and its been niggling me all bloody day.

I really hate it me! It's a horrible, niggling, unpleasant feeling - like all the pressure has got stuck in the back of my head.

And the really irritating thing about it is that I cannot do anything at all about it. You shouldn't poke things in your ear (and even if you do, it's only temporary.) I've tried warming the area (using my mug of tea!) pulling my ear, pushing my ear, poking my ear, pushing the area behind my ear and just about anything else you can think of.

It's maddening, it really is!

I've just sat through band, hearing my trombone reverberating in my bloody ear. It even squeaked in some of the loud passages! In the end, I had to block it up with tissue to avoid the worst of this. It makes you feel pretty grim after a while though!

All in all, I really hope that this thing goes away soon!

Rant over.
