Ey Oop!
Hey All,
There was no time to go to the bank to pay my rent today, so instead I headed to Whipps Cross to get my ear looked at. It was starting to hurt, in any case.
At Whipps Cross they scowled at me over the counter when I explained that my Clinic had closed, but they told me to take a seat and wait to see a GP, though since my condition wan't terribly urgent, I might have a long wait. I didn't care, I still had Last Exit to Brooklyn to read and one good ear to listen to my iPod with.
While I waited I actually jotted down some ideas for short stories that have been bouncing around my head the last few days.
When I actually got to see the GP, he looked in my ear and told me that both ears were blocked with wax, but the left one was definitely worse. He told me to gently squirt some warm olive oil in there, and leave it there for a minute with my head tilted, to be repeated twice a day for seven days. That oughtta give me enough time to sign up to a GP, since if my ears weren't better by then they would have to have them syringed.
In any case, he gave me a 10ml syringe to squirt with, and at home I gave it a try while watching, curiously enough, a BBC show called Street Doctors.
Anyways, my ear does feel better, although having ears full of oil feels a little weirder than ears full of wax.
In any case, I'm just about to leap out the door to pass the copy of Canetrash by SixFtHick to the DJ I mentioned last week. (and I can't find my frakking marker pen!)
Over and out,
J
