I told him I was totally Woody Allen'ing the worst case scenario that I had a brain tumor. He said, "Well, I can't tell you you DON'T have a brain or neck tumor." THAT WAS ENCOURAGING! He shoved this crap up my nose and looked at my ear canal, and I don't have any infection, just a weirdly shaped canal. Then he sent me down for a comprehensive hearing test, and I do have some hearing loss in my right ear, but nothing remarkable. <br /><br />The next step is a CT scan and another visit with the ENT next Thursday. If he can't find anything, he'll give me some numbing drops for when the pain happens to use as needed. I wish he could find out the root of the problem. Until then, I'm assuming the worst, as I always do.The Offbeat Drummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297496441624179505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191306183209604345.post-24664467364875847532014-11-13T16:50:12.705-06:002014-11-13T16:50:12.705-06:00Andrea, You taught me the #69 trick!

The person who called would have been right near the phone.<br />If I don't catch the call and I don't recognize the number and they don't leave a message , I push #69 and say," You just called me?". And if it was a wrong number , that early in the morning, I say," Be more careful ! You woke me up!".Katenoreply@blogger.com
