Dearest Kind Ones, Kindred, and Kin Folk,
Thought I would hop on the ole tip-tap for a brief bit of opening up and talking about my visit with one of my doctors today. (My favorite) I wish to share with you, my guest, the going's on with my Meniere's Disease, the hearing loss, the symptoms I have been experiencing - vomiting, falling, pains etc. and a small wound at the site of my implant. Over all I would grade my visit this morning a score of outstanding. I suppose that with me and for me as a patient, this part of my Better Health Team, is in fact a consistent out standing team. Doc. wanted me in there on this past Friday. But I had no transportation...
Changes happened at doctors clinic, we know that there is sometimes turn-over that occur. When change happens with this team, my team, they simply pick up their bottoms and move along. I know this to be true because I have been with Dr. Danner, since right about 2008 and over the course of time I notice the absence of Folks. Well, One, a special someone there I let into my heart and I believe that what we had was more than just a patient - Doctor Assistant relationship, there was a rare sort of friendship. What an incredible young lady, with such a beautiful family, you know, one of those actual, what I say, as the All American Family. Oh my dear, a little good bye would have been nice. Some how I understand and I understand. I understand that for you maybe this was just a job, I don't know, but sweetie pie, you and your boys, all three became a part of my life. I looked forward to seeing you and even if but for a few minutes, we would connect and I would laugh and I would cry with you. Oh well, my sister, life happens like this sometime and I hold no ill. I carry a bit of sadness, yes but Miss. Lady, you're going to do well no matter where you've gone. You are a wonderful Mom, and I know you busted your rump around here at Doc.'s clinic in Tampa General Hospital. You work hard Honey! Roger that, Sister Ma'am. Go, and do well. Be well. Enjoy life with the fellas and please dear friend, know that you'll be missed.
He-Who-Touched-My-Brain and I had a face-to-face gathering after I had Audiometry Testing done. A series of audio tests that measured my hearing and as expected, this most current testing reflects even more loss of hearing. He-Who-Touched-My-Brain and I discussed surgical scenario's and a medicinal regimen change, but for now, we will run on a as needed basis for three months or so, which ever would come first. We spoke of the potentiality of having a Cochlear Implant on my right side, where it is that my bad good ear hole to the brain resides. Doctor has instructed I continue all present medications, has requested I wear my hearing aid in my right ear and to utilize my BAHA in conjunction with the hearing aid. To continue to treat the wound on site of implant with the prescribed medication and to continue with by mouth medicine.
For now, for today, and since my good right doctor had our talk, I am okay with continuing to operate under the status quo, with a sprinkle of pixie dust for now. We know and have an idea that sooner than later - maybe one year, maybe two - who knows, if I should continue with the sudden loss of hearing, and resulting loss of hearing, then maybe sooner than later.
I've begun to approach things differently when speaking of Meniere's Disease, my Neurological issues and the damned pains that are sometimes just to difficult to explain. At this very moment, at this instant, I am comfortable, medicated yes, and as ordered. But at this moment, I have not stabbing or feelings of my skeleton. I have some odd noises and sounds going on that I am hearing in my deaf left ear. The decrease of hearing over time and then, this most recent episode of total brief loss of hearing is truly problematic for me and is always present in mind. Oh yes, my "warp-o-vision" is Meniere's related too. Some of the pains I am having in my cervical spine could/might be related to Meneire's. A topic that doc and I discussed. I don't know if any of this dreadful mystery's will ever be solved, though, it sure is some weird shit to have all of this queer stuff going on in between these to Mal-functioning ears of mine.
I am exhausted and am ready to retire for the night, don't expect to fall asleep straight away, but I'll be able to listen to my bride breathe, maybe read some while being serenaded by The Three Dogg Security Service. Woof-woof! The eldest sounds like a grown ass man making that damned sound in my house! Can you imagine how many times I have been frightened out of my mind? Goodness Gracious Great Balls On Fire! If you haven't, well then, read along.
Great Spirit, has brought weather from Canada down here to Florida for a few days. It is not so unusual though, I mean, we have some sort of Winter every year, but listen to these jackass meteorologist and were all going to die from the cold. It's like these entertainers want to make it sound like we're all going to freeze in stance. This is Florida. I'm Native, and I'm good with what Mother Nature offers.
Good Morning, in Europe and the Middle East! Good Night In Hawaii! God Bless the U.S.A.! I am afraid that there will be tragic results from the mega cold hitting the country.
The Florida State Seminole's are National Champions in American type Football. I am so very pleased because this championship resulted in our Home Team bring Home a National Championship. I am so cheerful about this and yes, it is fantastic for our State of Florida.
Peace.
