October 17, 2014---Michelle’s in Loveland, Colorado


It was cool today so I may have to drag out my jeans and some other warmer clothing.  I’m so glad we have an electric blanket so we can stay warm and toasty during the night.

This afternoon, Michelle to me to a hearing specialist.  Since Monday, I haven’t been able to hear out of my left ear.  Bill said “Welcome to the club.”  So much for sympathy and understanding!  Dwight and JP are also in the club.  I’m in good company.

The doctor said it wasn’t an ear wax problem and the ear drum looked fine.  Another possibility was a virus, possibly causing nerve damage.  I am on a 10 day regime of Prednisone.  He said one side effect of the drug is it may make me cranky.  I won’t tell you what Bill said about that possibility.

I went to an audiologist.  The hearing in my right ear is slightly below normal, which I’ve suspected.  My left ear was the concern.  The results were way down at the bottom of the chart.

I go in for another hearing check and doctor appointment on October 28 to see if the medication has helped or solved the problem.  I certainly hope so.  I really don’t want a legal excuse for not hearing/listening to what Bill has to say.

Tonight, Matthew, Tippy, Bill, and I went to Meredith and Dwaine’s for dinner.  As usual, the food was great.  After dinner, we sat around the table and talked for a long time.  We got to hear about JROTC and some of the plans Matthew is making.
