Day 3056

 I woke up about 8 and got up to do the pet stuff and have breakfast.  After a little surfing I went out to the garage to see if my idea to use the cabinet latches as light mounts for the Wrangler would work.  I built 2 sets of mount and it looks like they will work.  Unfortunately it was time to go to the doctor, so I didn't get a chance to check them out.

The doctor was an unpleasant experience.  He agreed that I needed the wax removed.  He had me lay on my side and he pored some stuff into my ear.  Then I laid there for 15 minutes while it worked.  When that was over a nurse came in.  She had what amounted to an electric powered bottle pump filled with a warm solution.

She proceeded to squirt it in my ear.  When the bottle ran dry she filled it with warm water and did it some more.  Finally she used some sort of instrument to remove the wax.  It was sort of a flat plate about half the size of a postage stamp.  I'm not sure how thick it was.  That's when the dizziness hit.  The room was spinning wildly.  I was sitting down and had to hold on to the edge of the table to keep from falling out of it.  My head started aching badly. I was sweating, and I felt like I was going to throw up.  The sensation lasted for about a minute.  When I was done the headache and stomach queasiness remained.

They doctor came in and pronounced me cured.  I was still feeling sick when I left.

We took Abby to Circle C.  We walked around the park.  I wasn't feeling well at first, but I got better.  There was no water in the creek, but she met a cool dog.  They chased each other around and wrestled for quite a while.  Then we did more walking.  Abby was really having fun going through the woods.  We had to call her back three or four times.She always came immediately.

We had to cut things short because Ellen had a 1:00 appointment.  I drove home and she turned around to leave.  I did a little surfing and then had lunch.  By then it was time to go to my 2:10 appointment.

My PSA is a little over 10.  That's the second time and it's somewhat alarming.  The doctor said we could let it ride or do a MRI.  I said we'll wait 6 more months and then see.  He was OK with that.  The appointments have been made for November.

Traffic was backed up a little when i drove home.  I stopped at HEB on the way and bought a bunch of groceries that we needed.  When i got home I put them away and did a little surfing.  That turned into videos and a nap.

Dinner was a frozen thing.  After dinner was more videos.
