X-rays are cool (sorry no open fractures or anything that entertaining)

Do you laugh at stupid jokes now? I do not wish that sort of thing on anyone.

Not really. Pretty depressed after it all. I do like all the "Brain Surgery" references people use about things or situations. Been there done that. ha. Cross that one off the bucket list.

1. Have brain surgery.

I just tell people that I qualified for brain surgery, many don't.

Lets see it...

Much better shape than I am.
If you guys see my Xray, you guys will be asking me "how can you walk with that joint?"

Let's see it.

A few years ago we were at the doctor for my daughter, and were messing around with the thing they use to look in your nose and ears. I looked into my wife's ear and said, "Holy S**T there is something in your ear!" I thought it was a bug or something. We had the doctor look and she was like "Yep, definitely something in there. You should see a doctor probably." The next doctor said something similar. Several months go by (nearly a year) and finally a physician at a Walgreens take care clinic flushed it out for us for free (during another trip for our kid). Here is what it was. It is hollow in the middle so it never effected her hearing. This could have been in there for years for all my wife knows. She never felt anything and it never bothered her.




I think it looks like the jacket that goes on the end of an ear plug.

Wow, she never noticed issues with a cotton swab hitting something or anything like that?

[Irving]

Nope, nothing. It was pretty deep, probably just beyond where she would usually put a Q-tip. I would have noticed right away because I jam them in there. haha

I had one fall out half the size of that one. Creeped me out!

My doc chastises me for that as it can accelerate buildup in your ear canal, but I flush the earwax plugs out every six months. Best free audio upgrade there is!

Anyone ever used ear candles?

[Irving]

Ear candles are fun. Never made a difference in hearing for me though.
