Ear Surgery

I had surgery on my ear on Tuesday morning.  I had a tube in my ear for like 17 years.  It lasted much longer then it should have by like 10-15 years.  But it was doing it's job so we kept it in.  The doctor said my tube was the longest he has had in a patient.
But then it stopped working.  I grew polyps around the tube in my ear so my doctor said it was time to take it out and replace it.
So Tuesday morning, super early, Tony took me to the hospital.  The three younger kids stayed with Margie the night before so she could take them to school for us.  Tyler stayed home because he can get himself up and ready and out to school by himself.
Everything went well with the surgery.  The doctor said that I had skin grow around the back of my tube which caused it to not work.  So he removed the tube and the polyps.
Recovery went well.  I was able to go home pretty quick.  I felt pretty good the first day.  I felt dizzy and nauseous when standing up, but beside that I was pretty good.  The next day I had a lot more pain.  I have been surprised how much blood I have had and still have.  But it should continue to get better each day.  Guess we will see how long this tube lasts.

Tyler's Jr. High Volleyball Games

Tyler tried out for and made the Jr. High volleyball team.  He had only ever played volleyball in gym but liked it enough to try out.
He made the JV team and was super happy about it.
They have played four games out of six. The varsity team plays first and then the JV team plays their game.  Tyler team has won two games, lost one and tied one.  
Tyler is learning and makes some good plays.  The JV games are more practice games and just the coaches ref the games, but they do keep score and play hard.
Tyler is fun to watch and it is nice to see him try new sports.
