physical health, gross 

After a few days of earwax softener drops, it's time to go back to the local "open every day, book same day appointments online" clinic to have my left ear hosed out, a procedure known as "ear lavage" rather than "an earnema" for some unknown reason. I get an ear clogged with its own wax about every other year.

@kistaro Sympathies. I've had like thirty of those done in the course of my life. I kinda like 'em, actually, except that everything sounds _bizarre_ and unfiltered with my ears clear...

This one involved the dude at the front desk getting conscripted to hold my ear open while the clinician tried to carve a channel through really calcified earwax so the cleaning fluid (not quite only water, but close) could get behind the really recalcitrant part, which he was eventually able to loosen enough to pry out.

I'm certain that's exactly what the groomed man in a decent pressed shirt was planning to do with his afternoon!
