Hi Gail. Ear infection???? Yuck! Loved your story about the farmraised soldierette! LOL!!!!
Yes, ear infection, I got water in my ears when I shampooed my hair in the shower. Normally I wear ear plugs to do this, I simply forgot to do so this time. And I paid the price for it. I had an older Ear, Noise and Throat doc tell me that I would be subject to multiple ear infections more commonly called 'swimmer's ear' because of the way my eurastation tubes were formed; so I should use ear plugs when I showered and shampooed my hair. I've done it for over 25 years and have had very few events of ear infection. Only get them when I get forgetful of those little ear plugs. To complicate matters I have adverse reactions to most of those meds like Sudafed which help dry up the fluid in the ears.
I've spent the day on the couch with Rocky, sleeping on and off. The antibiotic is starting to kick in.
