My wild, outdoorsman, Grizzly Adams (blast from the past!) type husband has decided that his kids need to ROUGH it out in the great outdoors. He wanted to take them into the mountains andpitch a tent and get in touch with his inner unbathed, squat in the woods and use a leaf to "clean up" if you get my drift...Well, this girl COULD not, WOULD not do that. I agreed to let them go and go with them if he went to an actual campground with showers and bathrooms. So compromise made and I am already wimping out. My MIL and SIL have already let us have it for taking these babies out and letting them sleep on the ground in a tent where anyone could come in or a bear could claw apart and eat us all. They are amazed that I would even consider going since I am definitely not a nature girl. Am I excited about the trip? Yes, because we will be spending the time with 3 wonderful families and I am sure we will have a great time with them. Am I excited about sleeping out in the woods in a tent on the hard ground and using a public bathroom and shower for the weekend? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!
Anyway that is coming up for this weekend but on today's agenda was a doctor's appointment for me to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. I have been having a hard time hearing for a couple of years now and my DH was tired of it. (me too to be honest). I really have a hard time hearing men's voices if they talk at a normal level (Brian M. is the exception but let's face it, he never talks at a normal level). I also have a hard time hearing anyone if there is a lot of background noise. I can't destinguish the voice from the other sounds. Anyway, the doctor said that it may be less a matter of hearing loss and more a matter of allergies that causing my ears to be full of fluid all the time. So, today he schedule me for 5 appointments over the next month. One of them next week for a CT scan of my sinuses and 4 of them back to back in September. 3 days in a row I will go in for allergy testing and then on the last day I will actually have a hearing test.
This seems like a lot of effort to me but I guess it would be nice to know.

good luck with ENT guy, i have a lot of the same things with my ears, but its actually because i clinch my jaw and where my jaw intersects its always swollen causing it to seem like my ears are full of fluid... its weird.
