It's November already?

Last week I had a follow-up appointment with my ENT doc. Nothing on the MRI indicates an abnormality to explain my hearing loss. Next step is to get some screening bloodwork done then see the neurologist on staff to see if he has any suggestions. Tuesday is the dreaded roto-rooter procedure.

The weather really cooled off last week. One morning it was only 41 degrees and I was loving it! I got a lot of yard work done. Finally. Still lots to do. It rained during the night and it's not too hot, but it's muggy.

I've started to do some (volunteer) writing for Wycliffe Bible Translators. Wycliffe and several associate mission organizations train linguists to study the population groups who have no written language. They, in turn with the community, develop a written language and translate the Bible into the group's mother tongue. Quite an undertaking. I'm working with folks who are doing this work in the Philippines. If you're interested in learning more check out the Wycliffe website.

I neglected to mention that the month of October was breast cancer awareness month and I must do my periodic shout-out for mammography screening. If you're due or overdue, schedule one. Early detection is the key!

Thanks for your work for Wycliffe!

And may God be with you as you struggle with that hearing loss issue.
