Doctor finds spiders in boy’s ear. That freaks me out. Now every time my ear hurts I’m going to be convinced that there are spiders living in it.
And my ear hurts right now.
The Husband says I take after my grandmother, I’m a bit of an overreactor when I think I’m sick or hurt. Once when I had a cold, my grandma was sure I had West Nile Virus.
The thing is, even if I am a bit of a hypochondriac, I also hate going to the doctor. So even if I overreact and am certain I must be dying because my finger hurts, I won’t go to the doctor until things get really bad. Which is why it took me three days to finally go to the doctor in July 2003 when I had sharp abdominal pains that wouldn’t go away. Which ended up being caused by a baseball sized cyst and required surgery. So see? I’m not always overreacting.
But my ear does hurt. No more “things in ear” articles for me.
YIKES!! I don’t want to hear (uh, sorry about that pun) about articles like that! Total arachnophobic here, plus I’m not too fond of doctors. 🙁
Hope your ear feels better soon.
I’m okay with spiders, as long as they keep their distance from me. But if I ever found one in my ear, I’d have to declare war on them. 😉
Thanks!
When my high school English teacher was in the Peace Core she had a beatle removed from her inner ear by the light of a torch. True Story. It crawled right out. Hey, you have a book coming out. Will you be a dear and read my fresh-from-just-now post and pretty-please answer my question? Thanks a bundle.
Eww. That gives me the shudders thinking about it.
Just left you a comment on my thoughts on the subject. 🙂
Thanks so much for your great advice! I wrote you back on my blog–I appreciate you taking the time. I should probably bite the bullet and find an agent. 🙂
Ewwwwww. That reminds me of a Scary Story from when I was little, where spiders had laid eggs in a girl’s skin. Talk about ew. No wonder people hate spiders.
That’s what I thought of too when I read it! Ewww. I used to have a book of scary stories that had that one in it. Freaked me out!
hehe, I am the same way! I’m pretty sure I have 32987 diseases… but will I go to the doctor to make sure? Nope! One of my sisters goes to the doctor for everything. She used to get so mad b/c she would have to beg my mom to take her to the doctor, and I’d have a cold and my mom would be rushing me to be checked out. That’s because if I actually say I need a doctor, it must be really bad! She’s the hyphochondriac, not me! I’m just paranoid!
lol, I think that’s what I’ll tell B the next time he says I’m a hypochondriac–I’m not, I’m just paranoid! 😉 He always has to force me to go to the doctor when I really am sick.
