Hey is there a mythological monster with only one ear?. I might change my nickname. I did think the other day when it started if given the choice between vision or hearing I could say "can't I just have half of each?" (as I am already deaf in one ear, I could trick them.
). Given a choice though I would say "lose the ears/ear", as hearing is little consolation to not being able to read. I will not be at the specialist on wednesday after all though. Instead of my lense glueing to my Iris (thus Iritis, and believe me it hurts just as much as it sounds) it didn't progress so far. I put this down to my running off to the doctor when I woke up this morning with a knife in my eye, instead of sitting around for a week wondering what this peculiar feeling in my eye was (and then waking up the day I have to sit on a ferry for 8 hours, with a knife in my eye). This isn't my only problem though. I can't smell due to lots of operations on my nose as a child (flowers and trees are just annoying green things to me that irritate my allergies) , and I was already partly deaf until I developed menieres disease, with my ears also having lots of operations (you should see the scar behind my ear
). Its sort of a tradeoff for being double jointed and otherwise physically superior to normal people
