Golden Ear-007 (as Arun named it!!)

I always wondered why Ogden Nash wrote a poem out of his dentist experience. Today as I was waiting for my turn of getting my ear cleaned (Sucked), I realised the experience is Blogworthy and I could empathise with him.
My Ordeal goes thus:
Day 0: Vin and I go to Lotus(food court @ Infy) basement for two destinations and the same reason. He-heading towards Gym and I towards the swimming pool. We parted from the locker room by meticulously planning where, when and how we r gonna meet after our work out sessions. After reaching a consensus, I left in the Roman attire (white towel wound and a swimming cap, these are vin's comments) towards the pool. I, cconscious about my appearance and not looking around (the cat syndrome) walked straight to the pool. walked faster into it by removing my towel. After the first dip........I realised...oh S*** i forgot my ear plugs....Then I justified my laziness with one-day-nothing-will-happen syndrome (typically "once" habit , where in you throw a paper once on the road by not finding garbage bin.. u park in no parking once as there is ATM right in front of that board...) . Then I swam, conscious of my ear and constantly draining the accumulated water.........swimming session for an hour........... then i come out and then realise something is not Ok... then met Vin and Just proceed home(villa :-))wards to have my dinner. Put soliwax in my ear (what an intelligent step!!!) and slept off ZZzzzzz...

Day 01: Got up at early morning around 9:00AM.....realised I was at peace as the world around was not so disturbing and then started brushing teeth with my closed eyes.. suddenly realise my head was heavy...then realise there is some obstruction in my left ear. went straight to doc in the campus.. she took a tool (curette) and then started scooping it out...oooohhh!!! godddddd...till then it was mere block and then on it is PAIN....eeeehhhhhhaaaaooooo!!!! God bless the doc!!!

Day 02: Realised that to deal even minor things in life we need specialisation..approached an ENT specialist. I was tensed....asusual one statement got to my rescue "No one ever died of what docs did in the ear". Then I walk in and the doc sees my ear...He uttered the four- lettered word..S***. I thought (Is that what is inside doc?????) He said it is badly infected, the prev doc did a mistake..... (My inner voice:Many a times in life U R A GUINEA PIG ...REMEMBER ).Gave tabs and drops and "Come back on Friday dude! we will Suck it off" he said. he said he will use some Vacuum suction method to eliminate the piece of.......

Three days passed by with googling with key words like "ear wax+vacuum suction+experience" , "ear wax+vacuum suction+pain" ,"vacuum suction+ear wax", "vacuum suction+ear wax+Pain" etc etc. Read thro many articles. Shared my feelings with friends..telling them that i ensured that doc uses only Eureka forbes for vacuum cleaning (some sad jokes to escape from anxiety)... all the three days came to an end with me watching cricket match India Vs SA ( I rarely watch this stuff) and slept.

THE D DAY: revielle 9:45 AM ( u see I was sooo tired)
then pack everything for weekend to be spent @ Ranka (Arun , vin ,harsha's place) All thro.... i could feel something heavy in heart...anxiety in my abdomen... i reach office check some mails and then after brief meeting with frnds and saying a bye to them... reached the destination.....
Receptionist says, there s someone already in ..Plz wait

NOW...this is the phase all the thoughts cease to exist....this time I experimented with my thoughts.. I started living through them consciously. I realised the "anxiety" "fear" "new-doc phobia" all coming together. I tried to activate logical portion of my brain.. it never responded... now i started talking to myself. Asusual starts with "Noone ever died of......" then i said to myself ok let me take deeeeeeeeeep breathe.... it does not work, damn it... ok try again....deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breathe.....suddelnly realise someone walking by.. then thought ok lemme believe in say god...ok or the say the vacuum which is god now... and i said to me OK MY BOY, NOW BE A MAN! for all men are "supposed" to bear pain.... Then i thought let me be with zero minded....the ward boy comes out and calls me in. I say good afternoon doc and he says dont wrry it will be painless... u seem to be scared.. I confessed, "Yes doc i 'm ( what do u think, i shud be elated to allow some strange gizmo to play around my ear drum???!!!" ) . Then he asked me to lay and started to spray. he asked me not to move or look towards the cleaning... and then some long needle liek thingy in my ear and,,,,,,,ggrrrrrrrddrrrrrrr ooooozzzzzzzz... and then he asks is it paining? I- not till now doc. Again, ggrrrrrrrddrrrrrrr ooooozzzzzzzz digs deeper ....I=aaaahhhhh oooo.... Doc- dont play the old trick...if u shout i may not leave u...I-(U MONSTER!!!! I DONT HAVE FREEDOM TO EVEN SHOUT!!!)) and then he plugs some cotton...and ITS OVER! i thought still its there.....
Thanks a lot DOC... it did pain a little....uuuuuppph and I'm back at my desk....... hhha with a sense of achievement!
May be a boring blog but i wanted to......
