Medical update (a.k.a-how boring can I get?)


Well, I'm glad I went for a second opinion (thank you Wendee). I found out that I have a flaming doulbe ear/sinus infection. My lymph nodes are swollen and my eustachian tubes have been full so long that they are swollen shut (I KNEW that it wasn't just old age causing my deafness!). So I am now on antibiotics and steroids. Yee-haw. I hate steroids but maybe I should take advantage of this and go try out for pro-baseball.
Son #2 took a bio test yesterday and feels like he totally flunked. HUGE surprise since I haven't seen a book cracked. I told someone that he will either learn to swim or sink like a rock with no one riding him about grades. I think God can use a few rocks.
I, in turn, am preparing the paperwork again for the Marine Military Academy (and my heart doesn't feel as heavy about it this time --- for now, anyway).
Jim's mom continues to make small improvements though it looks like she will be in the hospital for many weeks or months. She is on the respirator at 60% last I heard, but is still in serious condition.
I'm not sure what to do about taking the kids up there for Spring Break.
That's all the news for Wednesday morning.
Oh, and I think more than a few Republicans crossed lines last night here in Texas. It's going to be very interesting, to say the least.

Yes they did and yes it will!!! Who would have thunk a republican state would vote for Hilary???? Kinda crazy! It sounds like some grocery/liquor stores sold alcohol yesterday and everybody went out, got drunk and thought it would be funny if they voted for her. WOW! Unless you like her, and then all of Obama's followers thought that they had it in the bag an didn't think they had to vote? What is the world coming to?? Love ya sis! See you in 4 days! (it was 5 yesterday and I put 4 oops)
