I'm having shoulder surgery on Thursday (cards and flowers can be sent to....) but I had to have a general physical yesterday.
So he did the usual checks and went to my ears and said "you have some wax down in there." I responded with yeah I need to do a better job with my Q-tips. He shook his head and told me the exact opposite and that I should never use Q-tips because all they do is push the wax further down in the ear canal. He said even though you get some wax out, you are pushing more down in there that anything.
I quized him a little as I was interested and told me ears naturally clean themselves out but if I ever get build up to buy Debrox which is an over the counter gel you spray in your ear and then wash it out with warm water. Also said simply water would clean them ok as well.
Tuesday hard hitting stuff here at theRX

My Mom would get mad and call me Lil Laurence (Papa's name) in her biggest Southern Belle voice. I couldn't help but laugh...
