Yesterday I discovered my break was not going to be as long as I thought it should be. I was thinking like a year- but no. The day started with a hearing test. That wasn't too bad. It turns out my hearing is really good. Next stop lunch at primary children's. After lunch we went to Dr. Shelton, my ear doctor. He is one of the best ear doctors out there and it makes me feel really special but at the same time really scared. So he tells me( while I am freaking out and just trying to breath because I am afraid of what he was saying)that it is best to start with the smallest tumor and remove it before any damage is done to my ear. That sounds nice but there is still a 50/50 chance I can lose my hearing in that ear. Whatever, I will just deal with it.
If you think that is bad, well it is, but there is more. So you know how I have a raspy voice and I am pretty quiet? Well my parents told the doctors they were concerned. Doctor Shelton had his assistant Dr. Crocket check it out. First comes the numbing spray up m noise. That was the worst disgusting part. YUCK! Then they stuck a long skinny noodle flashlight aka camera up my nose. It looked more like a flashlight than a camera. It was awkward having a camera up my nose. They asked me to say"ee" several times to get a clear picture of what was going on with my vocal chords. The reason for my rasp and quiet voice turns out that my left vocal chord is not moving. So what that means for me is more medical stuff....
That would be incredibly difficult to hear Ricki. I could hardly imagine the emotional stresses news like that would cause me to have. Thank you for your example of having faith in the face of adversity and turning to the Lord.
