The blessing of hearing

You really don't appreciate what you have until its gone, at least thats how I feel about hearing. Having only 20% hearing in the right ear does some really stange things to you, like not being able to tell where the cell phone is that you have set down and clearly hear ringing in your other ear. Directional hearing requires two working ears. Try completely plugging only one ear for a day to see what I am talking about.

Anyway, the doc says another month to my hearing test to see how well we did on the ear drum repair. The graft has sealed in all but a very small spot, which the doc pricked on my last visit to make it bleed and seal all the way over. The inner gel pack is still disolving as well, though the doc removed the outer one a few weeks ago. With any luck, I should be hearing again soon.

The nose is doing great and I can breath much more freely now through the left side.

Thanks to all for your prays and good wishes on my behalf.
