Today is Monday and it has been a full day so far. I got up
at 4:30 this morning after getting into bed at 1:30 or so. I slept in! Woohoo!
Yesterday afternoon, it was suggested that I begin
journaling my days and how my hearing is doing. Being the techie I am, I dove
right into trying to get a software solution installed on my machine so it
would not be necessary to have my personal life out here on the web. Since the
brain power is not there anymore, here we go with a readymade solution from you
know who. Hey at least I am making an attempt at doing what was suggested! I
want my cookie!
As for the laughing? That is what woke me up this morning,
sure beats having a car wreck happen right inside your head. I got up in a
pretty good mood, headed to the office to figure out why I could not get the
blogging application to connect to the database that was created for it. Spent the
entire rest of the day coping with the roaring and deciding to just keep
breathing. I know, I know, that sounds really drastic, but it is true. Sometimes
it is all I can do: breathe and cope. Unfortunately that is more often than not
the way it is. I have to admit, being in front of the computer enables me to
keep my mind busy and focused away from the noise. Either I am reading, playing
around with software or games, it all helps. Yes, I do spend a LOT of time
right here. Since I do not work at the moment, I also manage to keep the house
reasonable too. Still, just trying to keep my mind occupied with anything at
all helps.
Then I had to get out to the grocery store. Eating is good
for you, ya know? After dealing with this 24/7 for the past 2+ years, it has
been difficult at time to just go shopping. Too many people and added noise.
In a nutshell:
Hearing started out to be a hoot today, transitioning into
the more “normal” evaporator fans you see on office buildings. With the
occasional outbursts that make you wince, always fun too. Then for the tinnitus
part, a constant ringing at about the level of a telephone bell on high.
Final thought?
It is sad to miss hearing your wife say she loves you. But I
hope she does not mind repeating it! J
