So I went to the doctor yesterday. Very nice lady. I felt bad because I was running a little late. I'd never been to that part of the clinic before so I didn't know where exactly to go to check in. But I was only about 5 minutes behind so I was still on time enough to not be turned away.

I can hear again!!! Except that since it's been months that the ringing has been going on and the clog has been there, my brain had adjusted to try to allow me to hear through the clog. But now that it's gone, I feel like everything is echoing on that side of my head. It feels like I have supersonic hearing. What happened was that I just had a build-up of ear wax so the nurse flushed my ear and got rid of the plug. It's so nice being able to hear again and to not hear the constant ringing. Makes falling asleep a little better.

I also had to get a Tetanus shot since I couldn't remember the last time I had had one. It was fine getting it, but today my arm hurts like hell. The muscle is so sore. Oh well. It's necessary and thankfully I don't have to get another one for another 10 years.

The third thing that I had done was a blood draw. Something I've never had done before. I actually laughed at the feeling of the blood coming out into the vial. It felt funny. I told my doctor about the thyroid history that runs in the family so she wanted to test the levels of hormone. I also mentioned my seemingly constant fatigue so she wanted to test for possible anemia.

You know what I discovered from my test results? I'm a very lazy person. My results on both tests came back normal. Which means that the 163lbs that my 5'2.5" frame is carrying around is all my doing. I need to seriously fix this. Screw the slim fast diet. I'm just going to stick to fresh fruits and vegies. And lean cuts of meat. Watch my sugar intake as well.

So yeah. That's what's going on with me right now. I've got about 4 more minutes before work is done for the night. So I'm going to end this here. If I have more to add I'll do it later on under an "edit" section and I'll also put edit on the end of the title so you'll know if I've added anything.

It's so nice to be able to hear again.

Until next time NuTang. . .

Hey, awesome! Good to hear it wasn't a serious problem or anything.

I've kinda been feeling like I have super sensitive hearing as well, but I think in my case it's mostly because I sleep with earplugs at night. Everything seems super loud in comparison to that lovely silence...

It'll take you 3 days for the feeling to go away then you'll feel your hearing never went away. Good to know that there is nothing wrong with your hearing =)
