I learned something new this week. If you’re sensitive to certain fabrics, don’t EVER trust a set of earplugs that doesn’t say on the packaging what they’re made from!

I thought wearing earplugs might keep the medicine I put in my ears from dripping out. Woke up the next morning and one ear was swollen shut, the other was almost shut. I had to take a sick day from work because of it. The swelling went down, thank God, but my ears are still ringing a little.

Glad the swelling is down. I wouldn’t have thought about such a big reaction from earplugs either.

I totally understand I went further. When my son was in swimming classes all the parents were using the ear plugs you roll in a ball and then take them out after the lesson. Well, on July the 4th (Of course on a Holiday) my son comes down with a horrible earache. To make a long story short we were sent to the emergency room to have his ears, both vaccuumed out. Those kind of plugs we were told needed to have been OFF the market. The doctore informed out that flakes break off inside the ears everytime they are used. I felt like a terrible mother!

I hope your ears are much better now. There’s nothing like an earache. Take care.
