I've always been proud of Ian for being thorough. It's an Aspie trait to learn things in great detail, to do things over and over, to become completely immersed in an area of interest. Ian has this mastered. So why should this trait falter when it comes to sticking a bead in his ear? It didn't.
The Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist thoroughly examined the bauble-stuffed canal. He irrigated it assiduously. Specs of god-only-knows-what filled a basin, which I held next to Ian's face while warm water flooded his ear and dripped down the lobe. Finally, he examined the red and black spherule under a microscope and concluded that it was definitely stuck.
Well, duh!
So, tomorrow we'll be spending some time at a surgical center having the bead removed with benefit of anesthesia. It's always something.
