*sigh* The cucumber slices over the eyes cancels so much of that out. Depending on the type of candles you use, that can get rid of the rest.JennyB wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 11:21amAnd stew in my own filth?Mimi wrote: ↑30 Mar 2022, 8:20pmOuch.

Bah. From everything I can gather, you're the kind of parent I'd have hoped to be, but was sure I'd fail at.

Get them syringed if you can. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world when you can hear clearly again. If you can't do that get a kit from the chemist that softens the wax then you squirt a balloon full of hot water into your ear.
My doctor told me the ear builds up more wax to protect against loud noise. I bet you use headphones a lot.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
I second what the man from Jendell says. I've always had wax build-up problems, but much worse as a kid (my Walkman days, so maybe your doctor is correct), so I had them syringed a few times. Gross looking at the cup of water and huge chunks of brown wax floating there, but the effect is remarkable. I wouldn't do it without a doctor, tho.Heston wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 1:44pmGet them syringed if you can. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world when you can hear clearly again.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
I actually don't, I think it's because I sleep with custom earplugs in. Instead of expanding in the ear, they're the size they're always going to be, so I hypothesize that it pushes wax in each time I insert.Heston wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 1:44pmGet them syringed if you can.

I drank a glass of oj this morning and my upper back seized up. Nice intelligent design, "God."

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
No, it was standing at the counter, raising the glass to my lips, and drinking—something I do literally every morning. And then all the muscles between the bottom of my ribcage and my neck decided to constrict. And my warranty expired decades ago, so I'm stuck in "as-is" mode to the end.Mimi wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 9:09amWas it gas?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 8:08amI drank a glass of oj this morning and my upper back seized up.

Oh, I thought it was pain in the upper quadrant, thinking it was gas. Good lord, Mimi. Ouch. Can you move yet? Take a hot shower see if that loosens it up. Heating pad. I can't live without one of those.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 10:22amNo, it was standing at the counter, raising the glass to my lips, and drinking—something I do literally every morning.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
I'm entirely mobile and all, but still tender. It's ended up an unscheduled day off from exercise. A person isn't supposed to hurt themselves while taking in nourishment. Doing Jackass stunts, sure, but drinking orange juice? Bah.Mimi wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 10:34amOh, I thought it was pain in the upper quadrant, thinking it was gas. Good lord, Mimi. Ouch.
