How My Jaw Ache Made Me Lose Surround Sound

Lincoln Adams | January 8, 2009 @ 5:03 pm

Because of the inflammation I’ve been experiencing on my face and jaw lately I had to remove my left hearing aid for a few days, so I could only hear out of one ear. Not… Cool…

“Hey Linc, is your face any better?”

“WHAT?” I said loudly.

A rolling of the eyes. “Guess not.”

I got some advice from Mom. “Put a few drops of oregano oil in your ear. That will help reduce the infection.”

So I put a few drops in, which eventually got trapped in my ear and for almost a week I was a walking Italian restaurant. Then it started leaking out unexpectedly one day and for a minute I thought my brain finally liquidated itself and was oozing out of my ears.

My jaw finally started feeling better though, so I plugged my hearing aid in and everything was right as rain for about an hour. Evidently though I was a bit premature because the added pressure from the aid caused my jaw to swell up in pain again. Ugh. I had to take it out and start all over with the Motrin, muscle ache cream and warm compress to help reduce the inflammation.

“Hey Linc, guess you’re feeling better now?”

“WHAT?”

“Sigh. Go see a doctor, dimwit.”

Heh. I am feeling better though, but I’m just going to have to put up with leaving my aid out for a few more days until I know for sure it’s safe to put it back in without causing any painful relapses.

Thank God I don’t have a social life, or this would have really been a problem. :ggrin:

My Arm Hurts – I Blame Women

Lincoln Adams | February 5, 2008 @ 12:57 am

I tend to use a lot of pillows to elevate my head so I can sleep, but I may have been using one pillow too many since I twisted my neck the other night, which must have caused a pinched nerve because now the whole left side of my body is giving off a dull, annoying ache.

For this I blame women.

You see, if I had a girl in my life, then I wouldn’t need to use 100 pillows for leverage so I can get just comfortable enough to fall asleep. All I’d need is the love of a good woman with her arms wrapped around me and my head on her shoulder, and I’d never have trouble sleeping again.

But noooooo, y’all women had to go and marry someone else, or live too far away, or spit in my eye because I opened a door for you, or report me to the police because I called you at 2AM in the morning just to see how you were.

So now instead of getting a good night’s sleep, I’m sitting in my uncomfortable hard as a rock chair here with a heat blanket on my arm, a massager set to max that’s beating the hell out of my back, and just about passing out from breathing in the pungent smell of Tiger’s balm. And my arm still hurts like a son of a b….

All because of you despicable, utter, vile, good for nothing heartless spawns of Satan women. I hate you. Die, women, die.

*&%# man, my arm…..
