No. No, I’m absolutely not kidding. I wish I was. I would love to be annnnnywhere other than standing in my bathroom watching myself blow up a balloon with my nose. LOL. I just, I just can’t. My life man.
I have an issue with my eardrum. It’s not moving with sound like it should. I’ve done extensive PT on it. It’s not working. The next step would be a procedure I don’t want. As a last resort I found Otovent. I’m telling you when I found this I for real thought someone was pranking me. It’s a balloon attached to a nose piece that you blow up with your nose in hopes of regulating the pressure in your Eustachian tube. No, I’m not fucking kidding. Stop looking at me like that, I didn’t make it. I’ve had so many issues with my ears. Actually it’s just the left one, he’s an asshole. It started with a weird balance thing and a blocked ear. When the doctor told me what it was my ear was so blocked I thought she said “You have a space station issue”. I almost fell over, I have a what now? Ma’am my space station is just fine. How dare you.
So, three times a day I stand in my bathroom and blow this damn thing up with my nose while my better half yells: “Booger Balloon!” from the other room. Kill me. I shit you not. Every time.
Apparently the issue I have is also called “Glue Ear”. Really? Could we get any more ridiculous? Why? The fucking mental that accompanies that. LOL.
So, there you have it. I am blowing booger balloons for medical reasons. What are you doing?
