I Can Hear Again!

July 13th, 2007

My hearing is finally back! For those of you who missed this whole thing, my right ear was blocked for about a week. In short, it’s back now thanks to helpful nurses.

I had a plan, starting last Monday, to listen to the all the Pink Floyd albums in chronological order (while on the bus to work and back). Of course, I couldn’t do this since I only had one ear. Rather than start this morning, I figured the first thing to listen to should at least be something that I was mildly familiar with. As I got on the bus at in the late morning, it was sunny. I started playing Dark Side of the Moon on my iPod when the bus pulled out of the stop.

About ten minutes later, I looked out the window and saw the sky was covered with very dark, ominous clouds. For the next half hour, with Dark Side of the Moon in my ears, I watched a fantastic lightning/thunder storm from the bus hurtling down the highway. It was especially great during Us and Them, as about every 30 seconds there were long flashes of huge fork lightning.

That was probably the coolest way I can imagine to come back to hearing properly again.

Anyway, I should get back to work.
