I've got this nasty bacteria infection in one my lymph node , nicely positioned behind my ear canal so it's a bit hurting at the moment. Went to the Grove Medical Centre just coupla blocks from my office and went in to see this Doctor Victoria Preissling or summat
anyways, told her of this swollen-lymph-node-pressing-against-my-ear-drums feeling and she used one of her small gadget (not sure what it is called) and had a look in my left ear.
'THAT'S A MESS'
she said
'Did you just cleaned out your ear with cotton buds?'
'ERR..yess..it was abit painful so I cleared out the ear wax with some cheap cotton buds bought from Tesco..anyway yeah I've cleaned it out..like what i've always been doing for a good 28 years of my life'
'YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO CLEAN YOUR EARS , THEY'RE SELF CLEANING! ANYTHING SMALLER THAN YOUR ELBOW SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR EAR'
obviously she is referring to the cotton buds
in my mind I was like 'So anything bigger than my elbow can be pushed in my ear? or nothing at all should be put in my ear? how does the elbow comes into play again?'
but yeah so there you go..cotton buds in your ears..no no..as advised by Dr Preissling..
anyway yeah she prescribed me some sorta spray , anti bacterial/inflammation spray to spray inside my ear 4 times a day. So being a good Malaysian , after I got out from her room , went immediately to the counter and gave 'em the prescription. The nurse over there was like
'err you need to go to the Chemist or Pharmacy to get the prescription'
'OHH sorry my bad , forgot this is not like how it is in Malaysia where you can get your medicine from your clinic!'
so off to Boots pharmacy store I went..
during the same day at the office - I was walking by Mary and Marilyn , two lovely chatty ladies who are the receptionist for our company. Mary was in a weird position - she was sitting but got her leg up on the table , wearing a skirt and was checking out her own legs while saying 'Mallorca! Mallorca!'
that's Mary by the way
I was like 'Mallorca?' (i think it's an exotic island off Spain like Ibiza)
'Yeah Mallorca, Marilyn (the other receptionist) wants to go there!'
while Mary checks her leg some more
I saw Marilyn , surfing the net , gathering info about Mallorca and maybe surfing www.lastminute.com to find last minute deals on the island trip ..while on the computer Marilyn said 'I need to go Mallorca, I need a break'
and Mary at her side said while looking at her leg all this while ' I need a SHAVE!'
I was like 'ERR..right.' and went straight to my desk
I love them both , so funny and cheerful and full of jokes hehe..these are the type of ladies whenever they see me coming in the office they will sing
'omar shariffff, omar sharifff , la la la '
'You guys are just making that up , there's no song called Omar Shariff'
I told them that
' La La La LAaaaa' they keep on singing....lovely folks :)
oh well that's basically how the day went..now it is 2.50am , can't sleep , pain in the neck (pun intended) due to swollen lymph node - might skip work tomorrow...
oklah ..talk later! :)
