Friday early afternoon July 10 long lasps

I kind of think of the last week as the lost week it started with a trip to Kalamazoo for Chemo then burn treatment then back to the cottage getting there just in time to pick up my Net flix for the week end.  The forth went with Kids and grand kids and good friends so could not be better.  Sunday My Right ear started to get stuffed up then great pain which we fixed with over the counter pills.  Monday was another trip to Kalamazoo for last burn talked to doc and he said to just keep using the pills we were using for the ear .  That said I called Dr. Bailey and he got me in and recommended wax cleaner and antibiotic then back to the cottage Tuesday night at last time to watch the movies when I discovered a big loss of hearing the only way to fix was to have Sharen put cotton in her ears so it didn't hurt them while I turned up the volume, at last I felt like an old couple yelling at each other.  The next day I became more worried because I had to move my chair within 3 ft of the TV and a a side effect I could not hear Sharen unless she put her mouth within 2" of my ear.  So call to Dr Bailey and trip to Kalamazoo.  He sent us to Bronson emergency since they had a ear nose specialist on staff.  Very long day and they finely called Dr. Bailey to consult and he needed another MRI which I can now almost sleep through,    ( I think that the worst one was when they announced each test and how long they took which I tryed to add in my feeble mind It seemed forever ).  Any ways the hospital removed most of the ear wax and added pills steroids and new antbiotic (this must have been the most expensive ear wax job in history).  On the way downstate and Thursday I considered my self almost totally without hearing.  That was a very scary feeling also added much empathy for people with hearing problems.

 

Now for the good news my hearing started to return this morning I can almost join in conversations, and the MRI showed no further Cancer in my head just swollen iner ears I always get concerned about MRI results since the discovery of brain lesion's not sure what they are but so far they are gone.  So this was my week and a nice ending.

 

Please continue to keep Sharen and I in your prayers and may God continue to bless us all.
