The Unpleasant Symphony: Earwashing Mishaps and Hospital Floor Naps

It’s Wednesday morning. I wake up and my ears are hurting. It feels like my ears are blocked. It seems my ears are full of wax. I inform my Dad. He requests I go and get it washed. I am in so much pain I forget to grab breakfast.

My Dad drives me to the hospital on time. I am at the nursing station. She pulls a string of lukewarm water and begins to wash my ear. I hear the sound of rushing water inside my ear canal. I can taste water in my mouth. Before I can say wait, it is getting painful. I wake up in the middle of the floor. It seems I blacked out and collapsed.

I feel confused. I am confused. I lie down for a few minutes. I am given something to eat. I relax for another 15 minutes. The earwashing begins.

Let’s try again, shall we?
