The doctor said I have an infection in my left ear. He did tell me what it was called but I couldn't hear him. He also said my right ear is completely blocked; I hadn't noticed.
He's given me antibiotic pills and spray for my left ear and sodium bicarbonate spray for my right. Last time he gave me sodium chloride spray: I wonder what household chemical they will suggest next time. Bleach maybe.
He asked if I do a lot of surfing; I said, 'Well, yes, I do actually. Does that make a difference?'
'You can pick up a lot of viruses like that.'
'I didn't realise they could affect me.'
'Oh yes.'
'Like earworms I suppose.'
P.S. That last bit didn't happen although he did ask if I surfed.

Just think Liz...you could be carrying your bait around with you for when you go fishing! ;)
LOL, "bleach, maybe"! Hey, at least it would kill germs! Hope your ear feels better soon.
And I love the surfing question...I have a feelingyou and he may have been talking about two different kinds!:-)
This is so sad.

I used to get a lot of problems with ear infection through swimming. I now always use earplugs - and haven't had a problem for ages.
I'm confused. Surfing? Ocean waves or internet? Viruses? Organic or otherwise? Earworms? Musical or wiggly?
Let's see... you surf and get saltwater in your ear and get a virus from it so you treat it by spraying more saltwater in there...?
I'm so confused...
It is strange putting sea-water in your ear. It cost a lot too. But it worked. I haven't tried the sodium bicarb yet. It's bad enough being deaf in my infected ear without making the other ear deaf as well.
I have been listening to Amazing Grace, played by a bagpipe, off and on for the last two weeks. Time to find something new.
Nice one! I hope you're not in any pain, Liz? Anyway, good wishes from Simi and me xx
