Hey Everyone
Well- I am feeling more HUMAN than I have in well.. at least a month thanks to these allergy meds and most likely the prednisone! I am still quite tired but it is more like I AM TIRED, not I am FLAT OUT gonna PASS OUT at any given moment.
I was gonna take an hour nap but I got to messaging back and forth with some PR folks for reviews (oh please I have GOT to get on writing and doing my GG) but anyways I was squaring something aways when I got some news that has just kinda made me – just not want to do anything else today. Though I plan to try to push through, drink coffee and get crackin’ because I am not really behind but I want to be ahead and I have lots of cool goodies coming in!
I have a cousin is 5 years younger than me named Brian and we are very close…we pretty well grew up together and he was the first cousin I really ever had that was born after I was 🙂 anyways he has always had really bad earaches and such and even had the tubes in his ears when we were younger. Well… they found out recently that he had a growth behind his ear and they had to send him to Charlottesville, VA to have it removed. Well the surgery was for today.
They get 35 min into the 5 hour or so surgery and discover that it is way worse than they thought and that they will not be able to reconstruct the inside of his ear, so this is going to leave him totally deaf in that ear 🙁 I am trying to look at it optimistically like hey at least he still has his other ear you know? but I know it is still a bummer and it will be really sad for him I am sure. I know that my dad is pretty well deaf in his right ear since he was born and he has done awesome in life for the last almost 60 years, and that my mom had a ear drum burst about 2 or 3 christmas’ ago so she is pretty well deaf in that ear too so.. but yeah.. I am very upset about all this and I just.. love him to bits- so if you are a prayers/positive thoughts/vibes,etc person please keep him in yours through the coming weeks/months to get him through this and be able to cope!
So- on that note this week /day has just been all kinds of interesting and I am a bit worried because my mom said that there is a mandatory meeting at David and dads work on friday morning but David never mentioned it to me and I hope it isn’t one of those we are cutting hours/ people getting laid off sorts of things but you always have to worry with the rock business industry- which honestly they are so busy I don’t see how it could be either one but it might have to do with their main boss or something so I don’t know.. I just don’t want anything else crazy this week!
