Sunday morning, after the Praise and Worship portion of the service, I had a horrible experience. The tinnitus that had been plaguing my sleep and awake times flared up HARD. Now, instead of a gentle static in the background of everything, the static is full volume and I can’t hear anything over it. Or under it. Or through it.

TMBWitW arranged an appointment for me for tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. How I made it through today’s work I don’t know.

As an explanation of what I hear, go put your headphones on – the ones connected to your FM receiver. Find a frequency between stations. Turn the volume up to eleven. Now try to think or sleep. Look at someone while they are talking to you. Can you read their lips? I sort of can – as long as they are facing me. I spent a lot of time not interacting with customers today. I also somehow managed to start the training for a new guy.

The thing I miss most of all is the sound of MEG’s voice. She is a quick little learner, though – her Mommy told her to make sure I could see her, then talk to me normally – and Daddy would try to read her lips. You could see that concept working through her mind, and her lips kinda moved a little as she held her fingers over them to feel what they were doing while she talked – then she very carefully got my attention, and said “Daddy, I love you.” I could read her lips – but I couldn’t hear her sweet voice.

Sure hope the Ear Nose Throat Doctor can help me work through this.

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
