My Earring Wouldn’t Go In
This post is inspired by my closed earring hole and a pair of pretty earrings that I wanted to place in them!
When I was little, my mother wouldn’t let me get my ears pierced because she didn’t want me to get diseases and later when I complained as a teen, she said she didn’t want me to get AIDS.
Back then, people weren’t sure about what caused AIDS.
I didn’t care either as all I wanted was to have my ears pierced like everyone else. ‘
A friend of my mother’s won a gift certificate to a jewelry store and told me to take it to get my ears pierced. You see, everyone knew that I didn’t have my ears pierced and my mother’s friend had some sympathy for me.
So I got my ears pierced and they did it wrong. So I let the earring holes close up.
Then I got my ears re-pierced over and over……it turned out the first person didn’t do it wrong, but I have very sensitive ears and can’t wear certain metals. Each time I got my ears pierced, a bump would appear and it would make it impossible to put the earring in again. I must have had my ears pierced five times after the original one time. So no Mama, you don’t get diseases or AIDS from getting your ears pierced.
This winter, I wore a very cute pair of earrings which caused the same problem. The bump came and I didn’t wear earrings for awhile. This week I wanted to wear earrings. I couldn’t get it through. So I put alcohol on my ear, then Neosporin on my earring. I sat and twirled the earrring in the hole and then I decided to push it through. It hurt a tiny bit, but my hole opened up again. I cleaned it and put in my earrings – success! Even better… I’ve been wearing non-gold earrings and it seems that my ears are okay as long as I use the Neosporin on the posts before wearing the earrings.
