Surgery

After more ear infections than I have fingers and toes (yes, around 20 ear infections in my life), two burst ear drums from the infections, tubes to help prevent infection, sleep apnea, snoring, allergy testing and Mama trying everything she can to help me hear, boost my immune system and prevent infections - I am having surgery next Wednesday, December 17. I will have my adenoids and tonsils out and they will look at my ear drums while they are in there to decide what to do and if any patch work needs to be done. The surgery will be about 30 minutes and I'll be on my way home before lunch. Mama is a little nervous - I'm not sure what is going to happen so I'm not worried at all. Mama says this is a good time to get surgery because Christmas reminds us of the Peace of Jesus - I think we are going to need that. Pray for my surgery, my ears and hearing and for wisdom for my Mama - she does not like the idea of me having surgery but she does like the idea of me hearing for a lifetime.
