Thank you, blog family, for praying for my ear weirdness. It was honestly terrifying to me. I have never EVER lost all hearing in either ear. It was such a scary few days. I thought a lot about some of my non-hearing friends like Mark. He is so full of joy. I just couldn't imagine how it would potentially change everything in my career.
Thankfully, today at the Vanderbilt ENT center, I got a glowing report on my ears and hearing. The trick, it turns out, was getting that steroid shot. The ENT told me that had my doctor not administered the steroid I could have had permanent damage. I am SO RELIEVED!
Anyway--thank you all for remembering me.
Good news! I had been wondering. And, thanks for the tip about getting a steroid shot pretty quickly when & if that happens to a person.
ReplyDeleteThe Baby Blessing shower pics are so sweet.
YAY! I know that was a scary experience!!
ReplyDeleteMet the wife of someone you work with today.......Keith Brogden is his name, I believe. Small world!!
So glad things are OK - please don't think I am a freak for being paranoid. Again, rather safe than sorry...

Glad to "hear" about the good news!
ReplyDeleteGreat news my good friend.
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine how scary that must have been. What a blessing to find out you are fine!
ReplyDeleteBrandon,
ReplyDeleteNow you have a glimpse of what "deafness" is like. I can understand how scary it can be. It does change the life of the one who has heard all their life, upside-down!!
Funny! If I were to, all of a sudden, be "hearing", it'll drive me nuts!!! Too many variations of sounds coming into my brain and I'm unable to pinpoint what it is. It'll drive me plain crazy. ;)
Brandon, glad you're okay.. And thanks for thinking of me.
Since you're on steroids, take advantage of the gym hours! You'll get massive in no time! LOL!
Love ya, brother!!!
