Had a really nice appointment with the ear specialist today....I knew from the hearing test just before I saw the gorgeous specialist with the Irish lilt that I was either very deaf or the machines weren't working.
Gorgeous looked in my ears with a gadget it would be helpful for GPs to have and declared.....

My god....both ears completely blocked....consent form nurse. Here we are...just sign and give us permission to do anything we like while you're under....
Some minutes passed...

Gorgeous: Come on..stop dithering...I want my pen back.

Me: Just hold on, sunshine........I'm thinking.

Gorgeous: About?

Me: Dying under the anaesthetic. It's a bit worrying...

Gorgeous: Stop worrying....if you die I'm the one lumbered with all the paper work and an inquiry....you'll know nothing about it if you're dead.

Me: How do you know that.....no-one knows what happens when we die.

Gorgeous: Hmmm...good point...you still won't have the paper work though.

Me: If I sign can I fly while I'm waiting?

Gorgeous: Not on your own....that would be dangerous.

Me: In an aeroplane I mean?

Gorgeous: Where are you going?

Me: Knock, Ireland.

Gorgeous: That's a bit extreme....the operation's not so risky you have to go to Knock to pray beforehand.

Me: I don't pray...well I might start though. I'm going for a music festival.

Gorgeous: Why? You can't hear anything. Go on, sign....there's nothing to it.

Me: That's okay to say from your end.

Gorgeous: It'll only be my end if your luck's in and I operate....☺

I liked him.....♥....but I still don't want the procedure....:-(

Thank you, Anne, the mass will be fine....just don't mention my name please.....I think I have been finally excommunicated.... the pretend priest has been sent on a year of prayer and reflection....that's what the Bishop called it anyway.... though I don't think it was entirely my fault.....☻

Also...a church I was about to visit recently had to close because the ceiling fell in....so maybe higher authorities are a bit miffed too......x

'' cut out'' the middle men, go straight to the boss.

[gness]

God?....Okay....he'll be surprised to hear from me again......☻

[anneasquith]

he's been '' around the block '' a few times. doubt anything surprises him/her anymore :)

Should your hearing go completely God forbid - try and learn a bit of lip reading.

My friend is coming down to try a new phone I bought - it would blast your two ears out - so he is coming to see if any of the features/enhancesment on the phone will help. God love him - very very very deaf and doesn't want to go there. Holds a a very high up in Civil Service. Hopefully the phone will help and I am going to coerce him re the lipreading - he is certainly going to need in later years JJCon - Goodnight Gness - am late tonight

[gness]

My, Conne...you were up with the owls....thanks for the advice. I have a few skills from my working days so lip reading isn't a problem and I can brush up on the signing though there is rarely anyone to sign with unless it's a girl's night out...when we'd just look demented after a few drinks....☺
I know this us just temporary though and when gorgeous has done his bit I'll be fine.

Hope the phone works for your friend....I do find the phone difficult just now but that doesn't worry me too much.

Take care....x

Gness - shall I do a novena for you - whether you like it or not?
;-))

[gness]

The whole nine days???...Ric...go for it....you're a pal!....☺

[mrs_overall]

wonders why ric.ror is going to do what sounds like a South American dance for Gness

[gness]

Morning you!.....I'll take any help I can.....if Ric wants to dance.....☺☺☺

[mrs_overall]

GOOD MORNING GNESS

It is years since I used BSL and like everything, use it or lose it. I have been trying to remember various words and phrases and for some bizarre reason the first one that came to mind was how to sign "are you a bus driver?"

My Postillion Has Been Struck By Lightning ...

[mrs_overall]

Morning dave. That sounds painful, especially as yours is such a big one ;-)

[gness]

You brush up, MrsO....and I will and then we can talk about my carer who should keep his postillion tucked away during a storm....x
