I'm guessing she went to A&E in the end then

Maybe she took my lightbulb suggestion seriously and now has more to worry about

Kid on the news recently who'd been deaf for eight years because of just this. You should have seen the cotton bud they pulled out, ugh!

It is with great delight that I tell you my cotton bud is no longer with me!
DP removed it with some tweezers the following night.
Worst part was I was 'deaf' in one ear for a day.
No infection and no A&E. Ho ho ho.

glad it is out, just keep an eye on it - it was a week after that my infection appeared, hope you don't get any after effects.
