I have a small update. I have yet to see another doctor for a 2nd opinion. The reason is the new doctor requested that I take another hearing test. Unfortunately the entire month of December was ruled out so the test is set for this Friday on January 15. It's described as a 90 minute hearing...

Question: does it have controller support or keyboard only for PC?

I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Still praying. Thanks for the update. Get some rest Tek.

praying!

Hi everyone, I had a new hearing test this past Wednesday. Good news is that the hearing in my left ear is normal now. I could certainly tell before having it. Sounds are no longer muffled, no more "wind tunnel" and music isn't tinny or metallic sounding anymore. I attribute the hearing...

My stepfather's sister died early yesterday morning due to complications from ALS. She was diagnosed only a couple years ago but had been in steady decline since. My stepfather flew back east to be with family last night. She would have been 54 on Thanksgiving Day. If you could keep his family...

Hi everyone, Hate to say it but my foot surgery on December 2nd has been postponed for at least 3 months. The reason is due to the prescription medication I took for the sudden hearing loss in my left ear. The steroids had an adverse effect on my blood sugars. It spiked them so high that my...

Good news: no tumor. However, something else showed up on the MRI. My primary care doctor said it's either an autoimmune disorder or something called, "thinning of the bone." He suggested to get a temporal lobe CT scan. I'm waiting to get another appointment with my ear, nose, and throat...

I need a new avatar. The new format makes mine too pixelated.

Thanks for the prayers. Tomorrow is the day. I'm trying to not let it get to me but it is. The steroids alone keep me up at night along with other side effects. I can't wait to get off them.

Hi everyone, I know I just updated my reconstructive foot surgery prayer thread. I have another prayer request. Here's a brief summary: Last year, I woke up one morning with a slight hearing loss in my left ear as well as the left side of my head feeling "funny." I went to the doctor who...

Hi everyone, I know it's been awhile since I updated my ongoing prayer thread here. I still have a lot of pain and the waiting for my next foot reconstruction never really justified providing an update. The good news is after waiting nearly 7 months, surgery is now set for December 2nd. Since...

Thanks Gerbil and to everyone for the prayers. Yeah my sister has her good days and bad days. She doesn't communicate much anymore. Usually it's a just a text every now and then and I've already emphasized it's important to stay in touch. I don't want to push her. TBH, I've only prayed for...

Update on the driver: last week he was arrested for vehicular homicide, which technically means murder. After visiting the scene of the accident, my brother-in-law has always believed it was intentional. Now with this guy's arrest, it is very possible. The news upset a lot of family members...

My last 2 cars have been Subaru's: a 2005 Outback Sport and now it's predecessor, a 2014 Crosstrek. I had to trade the Outback Sport in because it had a manual transmission and I had difficulty with the pedals after my latest foot reconstruction. But even with the automatic in the Crosstrek...

No worries Ursen. All prayers are very much appreciated. Thank you. Iirc, you suffer from fibromyalgia which is painful in itself. At least I know the source that causes my pain is coming from. It is still unknown for those with fibromyalgia. I will keep you in my prayers as well. Thanks to...

Signed up to donate on July 6. Hope it went through.

Thank you to everyone for the prayers. Here's another update: I found out that my orthopedic surgeon went on emergency medical leave and will be out for 6-8 weeks. I asked if another surgeon could perform the operation and at this point, the answer is no since it's previously been operated...

Well today is actually one year since my left foot was reconstructed. Time for an update for both feet. The left foot is doing well even with the toe amputation back in February. There is a difference when I place weight on the foot as I'm walking slightly flatter now. But it's only been in...
