Whaddaweek

To all of our sweet family:  thank you for caring about us!  It is wonderful to be sympathized with :)

By way of update, here was our week:
last Friday noon:  Reuel's work picnic; fun, but felt onset of cold during picnic
last Friday 6pm:  full blown cold, as if I'd had it for 48 hours already.  Very weird.
Saturday:  out. of. commission.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday:  pretty bad, and Reuel got it somewhere in there too.
Tuesday night:  5pm ears start filling up, by 4am still awake from steak knife pain in ear and eardrum bursts
Wednesday:  General practitioner looks in my ears and shudders, instant referral to ENT; ENT poked holes in both eardrums with suctioning ice pick (my medical term), probes brain, tells me that should feel better, sends me home where I feel all kinds of worse.
Thursday-now:  deaf, deaf, deaf, ears full, full, full and draining (full and draining at the same time, how is that possible) and I am instantly in awe of deaf people.  This is neither fun nor easy, and creeps me out. 
Friday:  call ENT sayin' something ain't right.  Told to hang in there til Monday
Makin' it through the weekend until Monday and really hoping this is fixable!!

And drum roll for the grand finale....
Backed into husband's car this morning while attempting to leave driveway!  NOOOOOOO.  Yes.

Oh yes, it's a peach of a week.  I am mostly spending time being thankful for a patient and wonderful husband.
