I have been fighting a severe infection in my left ear for over a week. The infection created a great deal of what I can only describe as pressure inside my head. For a time, it felt is if a golf ball was stuffed in my ear. Even now, five days into taking antibiotics, the pressure in my head is such that both ears have been impacted and I cannot hear very well.
Fighting my ear infection made
my think about a story from my friend Bill.
Bill’s wife, after constantly being forced to repeat things to him or
having to yell to get his attention, talked him into scheduling a hearing test.
Following the test, Bill’s wife
asked how it went.
“You’re not going to like what
the doctor said,” Bill answered.
“Why not?” his wife queried.
“The doctor said my hearing is
perfect. Apparently, I am just ignoring
you.”
