Maybe a note pad or dry erase board??

Thanks She has macular degeneration .... We opted out of the ear drops to give her and us a break... Her hearing has come back to the level it was before we started.... Yay.

deb, sorry about the bad night, but glad things went well otherwise. Yes, it can be very scary reading up about your condition. I suggests a couple things to help. 1. Find a chat site, that has contributors that have gone through, and are going through similar to what you are. You'd be amazed the types of information you can pick up that way, and it doesn't seem as scary when you read about others having gone through what you are dealing with. 2. Take it in small doses, if you find the information starts to overwhelm you. Take a time off from researching if need be, until you can mentally deal with the information. I am not suggesting you don't study this. You never know when you will have to advocate for yourself, and your research will be needed. But you don't have to deal with all the information at one time.

Thank you so much for this.... I should take a break and I am .... and you are right. I am getting a copy of the pathology reports I can wait one more week. and I will stop digging for now....

Out of all that reading they said the best thing for your lymph system is exercise... Cant do much but that is probably for the best....

I know it's terrifying but try not to worry. They have a good plan. They are using radiation to kill those 'sparks' that are trying to invade the forrest.

Just try to visualize the sparks/cancer cells being doused by the water, which is the radiation and try not to stress out.

Thanks Micro.... I like that visualization.....
There is one scene from Ghost Busters Where they shoot the Maids Cleaning cart. The next scene is her hollering at them "What the Hell are you doin..." While shes still on the floor she grabs a bottle of window cleaner and starts squirting at a little fire on a roll of toilet paper...
Perfect....

Thanks again.

Ear wax is a major cause of deafness. I hope they get the was out!

I would have thought so too but I went with DD2 to her ENT appointment yesterday and as usual the Dr. had to suck the wax out of her ears before he could see anything. BUT he said it is only a problem for him seeing, doesn't affect her hearing.

It depends on how much wax is in there. Likely not much since it is cleaned out regularly.

Older people have a tendency to mess up the natural process of wax leaving the ear by using Q tips. That stops the wax from coming out
