A process sufficed to date

Why does this thing do that?
For those of you who did not try to read my literal blog about nothing; it was not my idea to just put my title out without sustenance in some vague form to support it, not my fault, ask Google.

Any-who, the process is learning new things in medical situations just when you felt that you should know more about what you consider simple first aid.

For any of you who might not be avid followers of this rationale of my nightly spewing of what matters to me here allow me to elaborate.
One of my many medical issues that was of lowly importance on my laundry list of such things has now gone to somewhere near the top.
My ear scratch that last night again created havoc with my horrendous at best sleep pattern.
Yes, this issue had been addressed immediately weeks before and since it seemingly would not cooperate and heal even with cleansing with peroxide and lathering with Neosporin.
My theory was that perhaps my constantly getting it wet and or the fact that I am a borderline type two diabetic might actually being in play here, although most times my cuts have healed in a timely fashion within days usually.
This one did start to confound me!
So last week after about three weeks of dealing with this and at times creating havoc with my shut-eye by now, so I called my GP's office and her nurse suggested switching to corticosteroid cream, which I did.
And over the last week and a half the only wetting the ear got was from the clean shower water, since even though the pool is well chlorinated due to it being cold as most know I have not been able to go in it.
Last night was the last draw though; I was up in pain more than usual even for me, getting iced packs to put on my now very sore ear, even behind it and inside.
So I called the doctor again early this morning and spoke again with the nurse who had recommended trying the steroid cream a week ago but did suggest to call back if that didn't work.
I was asked if I could come in by ten and I said yes after checking with Hubby; he's my ride.
I have a middle ear infection and I am now on ten ear drops twice a day with an anti-bacterial/biotic medication and if this doesn't work I will need to see a dermatologist since he will need to possibly do a biopsy; Oy vey! And me feeling I take all those precautions with the sun, shade cloth over the pool, check, hat upon head, check, sunscreen lathered upon face, but sorrowfully not on my ears, oops, unchecked...uh oh! I have been laser zapped before, years ago for pre-cancerous lesions, but have not been recently checked, worried...NO! I will try not to, really, just let this latest medication do its work and go from there if I have to, Ta Da!

Please read this proper version.

Good night to all and you know the rest...
