Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! I just wanted to update you on my ear. The most excellent news is that my hearing has returned to nearly normal. I am so blessed! Hearing impairment is awful! I have a new respect for anyone who has hearing loss.
I went to an inner ear specialist in Fort Wayne last week and my lingering nerve damage to the tongue still is there. There really is nothing to do but sit and wait. Sensory nerves (which I damaged with the alcohol) are more sensitive and take longer to heal than motor nerves. It may take up to 6 months to heal. My tongue still tingles constantly, but I am used to it. All food tastes like cardboard on the right side of my mouth, but I still eat!
Life is good. I am attaching a picture to this post of two of my favorite things in the world!!!!
