Flutter

This afternoon I took a little nap.  I just hadn't been feeling all that great and after church I was wiped out.  I laid down on the couch, turned on some re-runs and fell fast asleep.  My loving hubs just let me nap.  He let me nap for 2 whole hours.  When I awoke he was no where to be found.  I sat up and looked around the living room and was trying to figure out how long I'd been napping when I heard it....

flutter...flutter...flutter...

Hmm?  That's weird?

flutter...flutter...flutter...

Is that IN my ear?

flutter...flutter...flutter...

Hubs?  Where are you?"

-------

"Hubs?  I think I  have a bug in my ear!!!"

-------

"TIM!"

He walks in the living room with a weird look on his face. 

flutter...flutter...flutter...

"I think I have a bug in my ear!  I keep hearing this flutter sound in my ear! "

He looks..."I don't see anything."

"But I HEAR it. 

Looks again..."nothing."

*sigh*

We never have found anything in my ear.  It stopped for a few hours, but has now started back up.  With that said, I have felt all day like I have fluid in my ear.  About an hour ago I had Tim flush my ear out with warm water.  Nothing came crawling out. 

Should I be freaking out yet?  At what point do you go to the doctor and say, "I think I may have a bug in my ear?"

I've been amazingly calm for someone who may have something living inside my ear. However, if it doesn't stop and a doctor confirms this nightmare to be true I may have to start sleeping with ear plugs in my ears! 

Have any of you ever had a fluttering sound in your ear?  What did you do?  Did you find anything living inside your ear?

  1. Hey Carissa I don't know if you remember me but I am Eddie's youngest daughter. But yes I had this happen to me when I was like 16 it drove me crazy. Apparently I got to much fluid on my ear drum and had to take some kind of meds to help dry it up. I hope you find out whats wrong!
