Yesterday, after showering off the salt water, John thought he had water in his ears so we put in drops. After showering he felt should clean out his ears with a Q-tip and ended up pushing wax up his ear canal causing a blockage such that he could not hear. This morning we got some ear drops and tried to flush the wax out but we didn't seem to be making much progress. Then I gave blood here at the RV park.
After lunch John's ear was still totally blocked. As it is Friday we knew if he was going to get professional help to get his ear cleared, it would have to be done before mid-afternoon. So we went to the walk-in clinic and sat for over an hour waiting our turn. They flushed out all the wax, made him promise not to do that again and sent us on our way. He can hear again!
The rest of the day was spent tooling around in the convertible Jeep and rubbing elbows with the locals during happy hour.
