On January 4th, Abby and I drove down to Orillia to see my Ear Specialist. He totally threw a surprise at me. When he finished looking in my ear, he strongly recommended that I have a tube inserted. Why this never happened before now, I will never know. But I said lets proceed with tube, so he did. Was so weird, he put freezing cream on the ear drum, poked a hole it and then inserted the tube. I was amazed at how quick and almost painless this procedure was. Then when he vacuumed out the freezing cream, talk about feeling weird. That was even weirder than the actual flushing of the ear. I now can hear sounds that I never heard before. So that, was that.
On Jan 5th, I was at the hospital in Huntsville yet again, this time for the 2nd Carpel Tunnel Release surgery for my left hand. It was a piece of cake this time. I was actually chatting away with the surgeon and the nurses, telling them the story of when I got to hold a real human heart in my hands on Valentines Day. LOL...It was weird, I could actually see a bit of what they were doing in the reflection of the big lights, AND even weirder I actually felt the pop when he cut the ligament. I am happy these two surgeries are done. On January 15 I go for my colonoscopy. I have evaded that for 3.5 years now, so its time to face the music.
Later Today I hope to get to do something craftyl
I had BIG plans for 2018 but they all got thrown to the wind after the death of my mother. I really need to pull up my socks and get back on track.
