AWESOME....not

I slept like 2 hours all night long if that long. The right side of my face sincerely felt deformed from all the pressure. I spent the night and morning putting pressure on my right eyeball. I went to the doctor today to finally give in and get a shot, I couldn't take it any more. I went in for one shot, came out with three. I had forgotten to get the follow up rounds of my Hep. A shot and my Typhoid shot for our Honduras Trip. So one in each arm, and one in the hip. I move like the tin man right now. Wait there's more....

BEFORE Elementary School my right eardrum ruptured. IN Elementary School I had tubes in my ears TWICE to remove fluid from behind my eardrums, during this time I had to be super careful and wear earplugs when getting around water because I had a tube creating holes in my eardrums. Water in the head probably isn't good. I find out TODAY, that I have permanent on one side of my right eardrum and severe scarring on the other side of it. I knew I had some scarring, but a hole.

The Doc asked if i wore ear plugs b/c of my hole.

"Um yea sure...sometimes", I said this kind of automatic, but NO!

"Waite I have a hole? Is that why I don't hear as well out of my right ear?"

"Yes", he says.

"So what are the chances that it will grow back together?"

"ZERO" as he holds up a goose egg with his fist. "You need to make sure you have earplugs anytime you are in water, no matter how clean you think it is. You are probably okay in the shower just don't lean in."

Wow! How long have I had this? I've been in the Buffalo River, TN River, Pacific Ocean, countless pools and hot tubs (some clean and others, not so much) over the last 15-20yrs. And Now I'm told I still need to be wearing earplugs. Well at least I can still hear out of it now.

Now I have no sense of smell AND a hole in my ear drum. Life is Humorous at times.

I could always get one of these. Jen does always complain about the music and TV being too loud at times. Thanks Nick for the suggestion.
