Heh?

Yes, that's right...still can't hear out of my ear. It's slightly better, but not by much. I still get a little dizzy and felt like crap most of the day yesterday. I'm still taking amoxicillin and the decongestant. Phooey.

I went for my MRI on Friday. Fun...um, NOT! It wasn't like the breast MRI where you lie face down and you're really not aware you're in a tube. I was getting very claustrophobic and was soaked with sweat. It took about 45-50 minutes and I think I counted every second. Praying got me through it...several times I was like, "Ok! You can get me out of here now!" I'll have the results at the beginning of the week I imagine. I had my follow-up appt. with my radiation oncologist. I didn't see him; I saw his nurse-practitioner. She was very pleased with the results of my tests and scans. They want to see my again at the end of the year after my next mammogram.

Oh, almost forgot...didn't make it to PA this weekend. Long story. My nephew, Jeff, is sick and is highly contagious and we all felt it was a good idea for me to postpone my trip. I could stay at Anita's but I really wouldn't be able to see Jeff or go over to their house and training camp is definitely out for him. Not only that, but this pesky ear infection might have been difficult to deal with on a plane. So I rescheduled for August 8th and we still might be able to make the Steelers' camp. Thankfully, the airline didn't charge me anything to change my flights and I'm actually saving some money. Who would've thought that? I feel bad, mostly for Jeff, a little for me...we have a family reunion next Sunday (Dad's side) and Joyce went up to Pittsburgh by herself. She's staying with her brother and his family, and we were just going to get together in Latrobe, but still.

I was at Joe's and Linda's yesterday. I was driving back home around dusk and spotted 2 deer grazing at the side of the road. That was the first time I've seen deer in Florida. They looked just like Bella!
