A story

This is a long story my grandfather used to like to tell. It can be a challenge to tell right, but like all good kid's stories it has a lesson. I like the way the words come in cadence when the story is told and how it avoids being too real.

Yes it is gender and age discriminatory, but that is the way I always heard to story. Perhaps it would be more accurate if it were a young man, because I think young men are much more likely to go through the whole process than old ladies.

Did I miss anything Papa?

The world in now available in a lovely novel new format call stereo.

Today, after a very long wait, the doctor pulled an incredible amount of plastic and cotton out of my ear. I really felt like he was doing one of those routines like the magicians do with the hankies coming out of their sleeves. When he was done I suddenly had sound coming from both the left and the right. At first it was quite disconcerting, then I felt like cowering from all those loud noises. Now it's settled into hearing.

It's still healing so I still have to do antibiotics and protect it from water in the shower. Also, I guess my hearing should continue to improve for another couple weeks. I have another appointment for a final inspection in six weeks when supposedly it will be all healed.

Maybe in a few days I'll get brave and try to listen to music with the headphones or something.

I had a wonderful day of eating Indian food and talking to [livejournal.com profile] derien. We talked about so many things I can't really remember them all, but we did cover The-Ongoing-American-Patriotism-and-Ethnicity-Thread, the fate of economic consumerism, how well our current car handles in snow, dreams, finances, interpersonal relationships, and well all kinds of other stuff.

I think it's time to go curl up with a book.
