I had three doctor�s appointments today:
1. A plastic surgeon. I�m finishing my upper eye lift I got a couple years ago with the bottoms and then a brow lift combined. Yeah!

2. The hand doctor. I apparently have about 80% of my function back in my broken finger and can expect a bit more over the next few months. I�m released from therapy. Yeah!

3. My personal physician. It seems when I went to the gun range I didn�t put on my ear protection correctly and perforated my ear drum. It should have cleared up quicker than this (3 weeks!) so he is sending me to a specialist tomorrow. BOO!

Another ding danged doctor�s visit! I spent 140 dollars on doctor�s today and another 20 tomorrow. DANG!

My doc was ribbing me about the inexpensive firing range we went to and was saying, �Not that cheap now, is it?� I coulda smacked him but I just smiled and said, �And more about how to wear safety equipment.�

But really who woulda thunk? I�ve gone to louder concerts and didn�t leak fluid through my eardrum this long. What I think happened is that I put on my safety glasses first and then the ear muffs afterwards and I think the glasses held the ear protector off my right ear and being and shooting right handed I must have concentrated and directed each and every shock wave right up my arm and into my ear. If I ever shoot again I�ll be d&mned sure that I have everything on right!


Remember how happy I�ve been saying I am lately? Well I snagged this test off of Jenn at http://thatgaychick.livejournal.com/ and took it. I�m amazed at the results but it really reflects how I feel now.
