Huh?

Say what? Huh? one more time? I’m sorry? 

Sometimes I feel like that’s all I say anymore. It’s been almost 6 years since I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had my first brain surgery, thus, 6 years since I’ve heard a single sound from my left ear. I suppose it’s a small price to pay considering that a large brain tumor was removed from my brain, but sometimes I just grow so absolutely frustrated with my inability to hear fully. I live my life looking around frantically wondering if anyone is trying to talk to me. No matter where a sound comes from, it always feels like it’s coming from my right (good ear). I fear what the future brings when nature takes it course and the hearing in my “good” ear deteriorates.

 I try to maintain a positive attitude and count my blessings, and I fully understand that so many people have much larger challenges, but I’m allowed to vent once in awhile, right? Right? Did you say right? Huh?
