The Medical Merry-Go Round

 

We had a Wolf moon on Friday.  It was prominent in the sky during the afternoon as we drove back from Chichester on our quest to find Jackie. We didn't find her, but we now know where her care home is and we plan to visit next week - weather permitting.

The moon was wonderful. It seemed so close - a bit of the awe-inspiring universe that you could reach up and touch.  It's a good thing we can't of course, as if so we would probably have ruined it.  Haven't we already begun to junk it up with our space clutter?

The weather is certainly much colder, and I think there is snow in the North, but the sun is still shining here. I just hope it is cold enough to warn birds and bulbs not to think we are in Spring just yet.  Col left very early on Saturday for the metal detecting field, and I worry more than usual when the roads will likely be icy, especially so early in the morning.  Same same for Sunday.

I Zoomed to the meeting at the Kingdom Hall.

The medical merry-go-round started again on Monday, with Diabetes check No.1 at the surgery in the morning, and a fitting for my new ears in the afternoon.We had to go to Bognor for that, which is so stressful re parking.   I did actually pray and ask Jehovah about a parking space, and we found one about 5 minutes walk away from the Audiologists.  That is just on my walking limit these days, so I was very grateful.

After quite a long process I now have new hearing aids, frighteningly technological. Col can even speak to me from his phone directly into my hearing aids!  "Home-in-15-put-supper-on".  Amazing.  I said to the young audiologist, who I am getting to know quite well now, that this should make us aware of the brilliant engineering that went into the creation of the human ear.

Not only don't you need a manual to use the original ears, but they don't keep falling off either.   The more we learn about the creation, the more confidence we should have in our Grand Creator, Jehovah.

I am now test driving the fearsome and amazing hearing aids and am waiting for the moulds to be made so that they will fit more safely and comfortably into my ear.  But am I up to them?  

I am also waiting for the second part of my diabetes appointment, to come when they have the results of the tests they did.  I am quite worried about it, as I have had some lapses in diet, especially over the holidays.

So though I ought to be - and am - very grateful for the medical care, I am feeling a bit stressed out.

I put "ear" into the Search engine in Col's photo gallery and came up with lots of shots of Jelly-ear fungus (fungi?).  So I chose one for this blog.
