I'm not ignoring his advice...yet

I was just surprised by how much he hates piercings...I've had my ears pierced for more than ten years, multiples for 9, 6, and 3 years respectively...and none of my doctors (including him, years ago when I got them) has said anything to me about my ears.

I've been a good girl, taking my medicine twice every day, and I haven't put any earrings at all in since my visit. My ear doesn't hurt a bit, and the lump is VERY small (I wouldn't be able to tell it was there if I wasn't actively looking for it).

I have about a week left on antibiotics, after that...I guess we'll see. I don't want my ear to get infected again, obviously, but I'm wondering if the cleaning/sterilizing every day would prevent infection if I DID start wearing earrings again, and if it's worth the risk.

*shrugs* I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I guess.
