I normally go through a cleaning regimen twelve to fifteen times each day. Unfortunately last night I slipped on my bathroom floor and a cotton swab got stuck in my ear. I heard a popping noise accompanied by some blood and I cannot pull out the cotton swab for fear of passing out. To make matters worse, I cannot hear from this ear either. I tended to my wound the best I can, taking care to clean around the ear canal and remove the blood, I even managed to sleep on my back the whole night without turning on my side- or so I thought. This morning I awoke to the broken end of a swab on my pillow and I could almost swear the other part is still stuck inside my ear canal. I still cannot hear from this ear but my medical condition precludes me from venturing into public- I cannot afford to be around germs. It is a very similar condition to the bubble boy. What should I do? Should I brave the world and go to the hospital? I feel so silly about all this, what an embarrassment.
