100 drops divided by twenty a day, ten in the morning and ten at night = 5 days

Lying down for Hubby to place in my ear canal and for me to lie there for five whole minutes and then to plug with cotton ball after then rise.... Ofloxacin Otic Solution, 0.3%.

Curiosity has been my friend and my enemy, at times, in this longer life that I keep pursuing.

And since being an impatient patient for these last several years, who am I kidding, all of my nearly sixty-five years, I have been the one, not the only one but the one of the many I presume...who really, really wants to know what prescribed chemicals are going into my body and why they have been indicated and what they are most likely used for, ya know?

Also how long this stuff, legal drugs take to work and if they don't  then what?

Many people might Google that need to know info and it is usually there for all of us to access, as I know too from doing just that, but this time I took a surer route...yep, I contacted the pharmacist who took the prepackaged tiny bottle of drops, this time, and bagged it up to be presented to me by one of his female worker bees/cashiers for him to acquire my biggy co-pay of $10!

The title tells it all that is the length of time to decide my very sore ear's fate that will have its flesh scraped to determine if my cute little exterior hearing protuberance will need to have a major trimming down to keep this gal from a too soon ending! Drama Queen anyone?
Although the pharmacist said by Monday I should know, yay or nay.

The drug is indicated for middle ear infections, Chronic Suppurative Otis Media, I think punctured eardrum, Otitis Externa, I think outer ear inflammation, due to all sorts of causes as well as the all too scary staph infection! But the flesh eating type B was not mentioned, whew!
I paraphrased the overly abundant writtings on the insert that came with the medication.
How to scare yourself, any questions, ask me. 

All in all this is my update of my ear saga.
Monday, Monday, can't wait for that day, since I will be all right, all better, just fine, okey dokey, great and absolutely happy that all appendages will not need any trimming! Or not.

On this note of that's the latest dope, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
