I was going to theme my posts for a while with silence – but I figured that would be boring after about two minutes. Boring for you, dear reader, since I am constantly amusing myself in my head. Anything to try to forget that I’m not getting any aural stimulation.

MRI yesterday, specialist again on Tuesday and another on Friday; Tuesday they are going to do a direct injection of steroids into the eardrum. Well, through the eardrum. We’ll see what happens with that. My friend Angie had this done to save her hearing, but it was too late in the process.

My beautiful wife has been acting as my liaison with the medical types. She has had the surgery conversation with them, since it was over the phone. So, they are looking at accelerating everything because bilateral complete loss is fairly rare. (I know – what are the odds? couldn’t hit those odds when the lottery was in the hundreds of millions, but when it came to my hearing …) They are talking about an implant in each ear. Not being a big fan of surgery, I am praying that the steroids will make some kind of improvement in either the hearing ability (allow me to hear through the static) or reduce the static itself (possibly allowing sound to get through). I envy your prayers in both of these paths, I especially envy your prayers if surgery becomes the only option.

Get on out and seize the day – love your family, listen to the birds sing, and protect your senses. Wear red today – to show your support for our troops. Thank a member of the military for their service.

Praise God in all you do.

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
