I have been a lump today......the pool has imparted a new phenomena-swimmers ear! It woke me up several times in the night and has throbbed most of the day. I have learned to swim underwater without plugging my nose-okay, this might be old news for most of you but is a very NEW skill for me. My parents are great examples of learning new tricks even if you are an old dog, so I try to be open to new skills! I have never suffered swimmers ear before and I find it is not a welcome visitor! Marsel has shared a home remedy she learned from her beloved audiologist, RaDora, and after Bill went to the store for me to buy the ingredients, I have been able to administer the 'cure' and get some relief. (equal parts white vinegar and alcohol dropped into the ear to kill the bacteria that has fermented there). In future,I will put some in my ear when I feel that I have collected a bit of water, which I have felt for the past few days and it finally bloomed into real discomfort. Live and learn, right?!
So glad you are getting some relief. I am so proud of you for your new skill -- it's very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is stunning.
I agree, the shawl looks great (what a difference after blocking:)). pity about your ear, it has nothing to do with the funny colour of the water in the pool? get better soon!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is beautiful!!! Somehow the color is fitting for a post about swimming!
ReplyDeleteHope your ear feels better soon! I've never had swimmers ear luckily.

What is it about seeing a shawl all blocked out - it's like watching a butterfly emerge from its cocoon and the wings expans as they dry. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shawl!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful shawl:)
