Ears of Corn My right ear has been jacked-up (clogged with earwax) since Sunday evening. I saw a doctor about it yesterday who said it was packed all the way to my eardrum (apparently a rarity). After shoving a mini shovel in there and hardly any wax coming back out, he irrigated it with water. The water was only successful in that it left me dizzy and with a headache until this morning. I’ve always had problems with my ears. The last time this happened the doctor was able to clear the whole thing out. This doctor didn’t do that. Instead, he prescribed me some boric acid-based drops to use. So far, no good. It’s amazing how shitty you can feel without being able to fully use one of your ears. It’s like I’m constantly disoriented and not sure exactly where I am in a spacial sense. Boy oh boy can I not wait to hear again!
