Rant number 363
As mentioned yesterday, this morning I had my ears syringed. It did need doing (and apparently I need the other doing next week - joy.)
With that in mind, syringing sounds quite civilised doesn't it? It suggests that they get a syringe and, I dunno - suck the stuff out with it probably?
The reality is that they take a jet washer of sorts, ram it in your ear and flood your ear canal with little pulses of water until all the wax comes out. It's done the job and its a great relief. I felt dizzy for hours though, and a little bit seasick.
I'm not actually complaining about the procedure (though I think that they could give it a more accurate name such as high pressure ear enema.) As I said, it needed doing. What bothers me, is my bodies inability to fix these kind of things now I'm older.
Give or take a broken bone and a chest infection, I don't remember having anything more than over the counter remedies up until I was about 18.
Yes, I was poorly (chicken pocs, measles, colds and flu.) Everyone is ill from time to time. Everything I had though, I could shift in a few days. Colds and flu didn't stop me in my tracks like they can now. I could fix things myself practically without fail.
These days though, I seem to need to go to the doctors for antibiotics and the like, and it's crap.
What's happened to my beast of an immune system? Where did it go?
I wish it would come back - that's for sure!
Rant over.
