This can be a wonderful time of year in Virginia. It got down in the 30’s last night and when I went out about six am the cold air hit my face and woke me up. It felt really good and I’m sure I was a better driver too. There’s a couple who walk their dog about that time and they are all over the road. They let their dog run free in people’s yards under cover of darkness. He left me a present one morning and I in turn got it all over the floor mat in my car.
So when i see them talking and laughing in the early morning light I want to run them over. Then I would use the “I was still asleep and didn’t see them defense”. But I couldn’t do it this morning.
The cold air keeps the pollen count down a bit too. And this helps me breathe. I’m hoping it will help me hear too if it continues because I can’t hear out of my left ear. I went to see my doctor last Monday about some med refills. And at the beginning of the visit I told him I couldn’t hear. So he refilled my meds and then got up to leave before he remembered “Oh, I almost forgot. You wanted me to look at your ear”.
Actually I preferred that he look IN my ear and find out if there is something growing in there. So he looked in there and this is what he said. “There’s no wax in there. It must be lower down. Alright. I’ll see you in three months.”
And he walked out the door.
I love my doctor. I really do. Because he doesn’t get nervous or agitated the way I do sometimes. And I’m counting on this fact in the future.
Because if he ever sees something growing anywhere inside me that shouldn’t be there I don’t want to know about it. I have heard too much about chemotherapy, for example, to consider having it.
I want him to just smile, put his little light thing away and walk out the door. “See you in a few months big guy.” That’s what I want.
And he may see me in a couple of months too. Because I plan to invite him to my funeral.
But hopefully nothing like that will happen. And if the cold air sticks around maybe I will be able to hear again soon. Because I am missing things. And I am starting to understand the predicament of some of our older relatives who can’t hear much out of both ears.
You start to feel strangely isolated even when you are sitting around with a bunch of people watching television and you can’t hear them or the joker on the television. And yes I am referring to the AI host Ryan Seacrest.
I asked my wife to look in there and see if she could see anything.
She did. And then she said something that hurt my feelings.
She said she could see the picture hanging on the wall on the other side of the room.
When are they going to have an American Idol type show for amateur comedians? Because we have the winner right here in Richmond, Virginia. She’s probably as funny as Edgar Bergman.
Just make sure she doesn’t forget her dummy when she packs up and heads for Hollywood.
