Good afternoon, all. Sandy, good idea to have your mom's hearing checked. My MIL's got 2 hearing aids, yet she has to lip read. Her hearing's fine...the aids help, but the hearing aid tester said (when my MIL had her hearing aids out so she couldn't hear us) that her brain's not processing what she's hearing.
So your mom might be hearing something, but not processing it well. Keep us informed, if you would. It's hard, I know. Take care of yourself...

Vonn, my aunt had a knitting machine...she made me a really pretty shawl. I always wanted one, since it's so difficult knitting. But that is kind of low on the list right now.

Sox, glad DS is better...

Went for the preop checkup. My weight has skyrocketed again...probably due to sleeping so much over the last month or so. I told my pcp I am not completely sure about having this surgery. I've lived with the problem for years now, even though it makes "being close" with DH uncomfortable. She told me when I see the surgeon to ask him about risks, etc. and voice my feelings. But the nurse said, "Oh my gosh, have it done!!" I just hate the idea of ruining Thanksgiving (and our Christmas celebration that weekend) and not being able to do much for 3 whole months.
Oh well...I need to get some laundry done before mountain climbers arrive to scale the mound...
Have a great evening!
