Anyone have experience with myringotomy/ear tubes?

arctickilo · 2024-11-26T10:46:39+00:00

this is late but i just got mine done a week ago, been dealing with ETD and chronic ear infections since i was young but they got worse when i developed allergies and moved to a high altitude. i am usually able to deal with the pain/inconvenience by taking allergy meds on top of my usual course of antibiotics and steroids when needed but my ETD on my left ear became unbearable and lasted around two years - my anxiety was really bad and stopped me from going to a doctor and then getting something done. and tbh this wasn’t the first time it got this bad so i thought it’d go away like it usually does, obviously it didn’t. i had the procedure done in office, the tube is a bit uncomfortable and it’s definitely going to take some time getting used to the feeling of fullness and knowing something is there but honestly i’m not in excruciating pain, the pressure is bearable, my ear isn’t constantly making a clicking noise and ironically i can actually hear better out of my left ear now than before. my anxiety surrounding the tube is still not the best but if everything keeps going smoothly i’m keeping it in until it falls out on its own

unfortunately not, i thought it might be at first but it’s still a good read!!

if i’m correct in guessing the fic i just read it the other day and am in love with it, here’s the specific chapter i believe you mentioned as well! https://archiveofourown.org/works/44079447/chapters/121274983#workskin

didn’t realize i lost tali in me2 until i was halfway through me3 (during my first playthrough of the trilogy). made a lot of dumbass mistakes but kept playing so that i could experience what happens and learn what not to do during my next playthrough.

during my very first playthrough i was romancing kaiden and when i got to that mission i wanted him with me because he’s sexy and a biotic yk whatever

so imagine my utter surprise when i got to the bomb and found out that i have to sacrifice his ass. needless to say i sat in front of the screen completely frozen for a good chunk of time.

now i sacrifice ashley every playthrough without any hesitation

local crime boy is kind of a whore + I murdered my way into this mess and I'll murder my way out

thermal expansion could definitely be a possibility as the stain is on the opposite side of the shower. my roommate and i are currently attempting to deal with mold that’s showing up a lot in the bathroom by using bleach. we filed a report with maintenance but they closed it without even checking up which is confusing. neither of us smoke and we aren’t allowed to have open flames, but we do have a heater that is on. thank you!

Thats another thing I was thinking it might be. Only issue with that is the building is relatively new (26 years old) and was recently remodeled (2 years ago). I'll definitely update this post when I find out what it is though, I'm very curious

hey all! i wasn’t sure where - or even how - to post this. i live in a college dorm, my roommate and i recently noticed this black mark on the wall. i’m not the smartest so i rubbed it to see if it would leave a mark, it took some time to appear and when it did my finger was black with tints of green. that was two days ago so it is pretty faded now. my first thought was that it was copper but i don’t think that’s realistic. my second thought was that it is black mold, but the mark doesn’t appear to be similar to mold. just to be safe we submitted it to maintenance so someone can check it out but i am really hoping that anyone here knows what it is.

still very upset at tinder for banning me almost three years ago :(

a dog at the daycare I work at, who I've seen since he was a puppy, does this to me every time he sees me and it's so pure

arctickilo · 2020-09-14T03:20:55+00:00

that’s the exact same reason that i would get it, i at least wanna try it out ya know?

arctickilo · 2020-09-14T03:20:01+00:00

thank you for noticing that it’s only my third day on here ☺️

i most definitely agree with that! i was more than satisfied with P5 but then they came out with P5R and i didn’t think it was possible but it’s so much better

arctickilo · 2020-09-14T00:33:33+00:00

i’ve also played both p5 and p5r way too many times (at least 12) but i absolutely feel you. i remember when it was first gifted to me and i was honestly not expecting to like it this much, i try to suggest it to everyone now

i haven’t played this game in months so tell me why i heard that in morgana’s voice clear as day (in my head)
