A couple of days ago, my left ear decided to block. Since then, it's unblocked and re-blocked twice. Now, I know this is a very common complaint but it's a bit of a nightmare for me at this time of year, because between now and Christmas, I've got a lot of playing to do and I
need my ears!! (e.g. over the next week+, I'm playing four times - you see my point!) I can't start applying drops yet because Hubby tells me (from experience) that they take several days to work and they make things completely gummed up before this can happen. After next week, there's a bit of a gap before the actual Christmas services, so I'll get busy with the drops then, as there should be just enough time. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for this coming week and not touch my left ear, even if I need to. I haven't slept much since about 5am this morning - my ear had just unblocked and I didn't want the pressure from my pillow to gum it up again. Last night was fun - I played for a choir rehearsal - they were on my gummed-up side and I could hardly hear them! Oh joy!
