Mmm. The pain in my ear's gone. But...my hearing still hasn't returned. Not all the way, anyhow.

Strangely, this doesn't bother me so much as it might. Realized this when talking to

jwhorfin last night. Really, when you consider all that I've been through, all the injuries I've managed to do to myself, all the serious illnesses? This...isn't so bad.

Consider the fact that I was born with scarred and damaged lungs.
Consider that I could have lost my leg a few years ago, yet my injury's barely noticable.
Consider that I came pretty close to near death Sophomore year, when I got so sick that I couldn't even walk.
Consider that I come from a family with a history of high blood pressure, but I'm fine.
Consider that I come from a family with a long history of cancer, but I'm fine.
Consider that I come from a family with extremely poor eyesight, but I'm fine.
Consider that I come from a family with a history of being diabetic, but I'm fine.
Consider all that my sister has gone through with her nervous system disorders. But I'm fine.

If losing a little hearing is the worst that happens to me, then I'm gonna be damn thankful.
