Ok, back to the doc again this afternoon. I made Peaches go with me in case I got a shot, she was there to hold my hand. The doc put a wick in my ear (white, long, skinny thing that resembles a candle wick) to help open up my ear drum. He thinks I have a small hole in my ear drum that was caused by a virus. He gave me more ear drops and didn't charge me for the visit or the drops. If I am still unable to hear by Monday then I will go to an ENT.
I then came home and used the drops and they didn't burn (that's a good sign). I then decided to try and bust out my front tooth with the mop handle. NOT ON PURPOSE! Lets just say blood everywhere, sore tooth, deaf ear.........but the floor looks GREAT!
I hope tomorrow is better.

Back to the Doc
Here we go again. I go back to the doc tomorrow to check my still deaf ear. Meds not working. That means another doctors visit co-pay, another claim on my health insurance, likely more prescriptions and missed time from work. BUT....it will be all worth it if I can hear something besides the ringing and buzzing in my head. Oh, and now I hear dogs barking. That one just started today. HUM! I am starting to think that John enjoys yelling at me. Yeah, that needs to stop soon.

Harry Potter and the just ok movie
That's right all you HP freaks...I said the movie was just ok. Not the slam bang greatest movie I've ever seen (that still remains a tie between Die Hard and the Outlaw Josey Wales). Honestly, this episode of the Harry Potter saga isn't even in my top 10.
The action was good...there wasn't enough of it. In a summer where I've seen 30 foot transforming robots fight with swords and cannons, where I've seen Terminators crushed by helicopters, where I've seen mutants try to cut each other up with claws and swords in place of hands....it's just ok.
First of all, I don't know how they made this movie PG? I remember the book being much more action packed, and with that much fighting, it should have been PG-13...but I guess that would leave out all the 8 and 9 year olds that could go see it, hmmmm?
It was long...2 1/2 hours. Now I would say that you needed that time to properly get the feel of the book into the movie...but as you can tell from my previous paragraphs, I don't think they got it done.
Just bleh. Not worth $10 to see, especially if you have to sit through it with yer kids. At most this is a $6 movie. I paid $7.50, so I don't feel really bad. Especially since I went and saw Public Enemies yesterday for $7. Now that's a good movie. Very little language...not much graphic violence...good acting, gunfights, bank robberies, the FBI...what else could you want? Of course, John Dillinger didn't fly into the banks on a broom and threaten everyone with his Thompson Sub-machine wand, but you can't have everything.

Ear Infection
Two weeks ago I went deaf in my left ear. I thought I had water behind my ear drum or a blockage. I waited longer than I should have to see a doctor. I went Wednesday to have my ear drained and only the water the nurse put in came out, nothing else. The doctor came back in to check & see if the ear drum was clear and his exacts words were, "How interesting.........we have a mess here". That didn't sound good! So, the results were that I have a really bad ear infection (fluid from my sinuses are behind my ear drum), still deaf and my medicine makes me sick in unpleasant ways (NICE).
For the past several days I swear that phones are ringing and vibrating. I echo inside my head when I talk which is so annoying. I fear that when I fall asleep I won't be able to hear Peaches if she needs me.
I realize now how important my hearing is to me and I am thankful for that sense.
I am just praying that the medicine works and my hearing is restored soon.
