Before & After

So many of you have asked about our "new" place. We've been moved in since the end of December, but FINALLY have it mostly organized! Takes us awhile, but we get 'r done! Here are is a before and after of the living room.

Negative Pressure

So you know how I can never quite hear you the first time you say something to me? How I ask you to repeat things? How it seems like I turn the radio or tv up or I talk to loudly? It's because I have hearing loss. It's proven now, folks! I went in for the appointment. Apparently though, it's correctable! It's either one of two things. 1: I have a buildup of negative pressure in my middle ear cause by an inflamed or blocked eustation tube or 2: the bones in my middle ear are stiff. How do we figure out which it is? By cutting a hole in my ear drum and placing a tube in there to equalize the pressure in my ear and allowing the eustation tube to go back to normal. If that works, then we know it's not the bones. If it doesn't work, then it's time for surgery to loosen the bones in my ear so they vibrate correctly.

See?


Good times, eh? Prayers would be appreciated. I'm a little nervous, being that music is such an integral part of my life, that there will soon be a hole in my ear drum. But I'd rather fix this now than wait for it to get worse. Right? Right? I can't hear you.
