[BlindTlk] a couple of personal hygene questions

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Madison,

I also had really long hair, and you're right, just give the hair a thorough
rinse, rubbing up along the scalp, too, to make sure it is all coming out.
When you wring out your hair, you can tell that you have gotten everything.
If you've somehow missed, dunk back under.

Ears should automatically take care of themselves regarding draining, but if
you suspect something is going on, that they aren't draining as they usually
do, then it wouldn't hurt to get them checked.  My husband has a tube in one
of his ears, and because of that, he leaves any ear flushing up to the doc.
But a wiping out with a damp rag to keep them clean shouldn't hurt anything.

Judy

Subject: [BlindTlk] a couple of personal hygene questions

Hi all,
I have long, thick and rather oily hair and I always have trouble knowing
whether or not I've gotten the shampoo out so I just keep putting my head
under the tap until I feel like I've gotten all of it out; does anyone have
a better way/method that I can use to whether or not I've gotten it all out?
Also, not sure if anyone will have any answers for this but I'm going to ask
anyway as this is driving me nuts. Every time I shower my ears get full of
water since I have to put my head under the tap in order to wet and then
rinse out my hair and then even after drying my ears as well as I can when I
get out they still always feel like they're full of water. I've tried ear
plugs for swimmers and they work grate in the shower but even after I dry
them as well as I possibly can when I take them out all of the water that's
still  on them somehow all just goes in my ears. I know that you're not
supposed to stick fingers or cuetips in your ears; so does anyone have any
ideas as to what I might be able to do about this/how to prevent this from
happening in the first place? This has been going on for awhile so  I don't
think that I have an ear infection as my ears don't hurt and I'm not dizzy
or anything; I absolutely hate going to the doctor and I'd really hate to go
there and just waste their time if I don't have an ear infection (I know
that they can flush your ears but since mine already feel like they've got
water in them I really doubt that would make them feel any different). Look
forward to hearing any thoughts that anyone may have!!
Madison
