Thanks, Christine, the hearing seems okay so far. I have been telling them what is going on and they put me on IV fluids yesterday. I hope this gets better. Last time I had something like this, I ended up with double lung pneumonia and in the hospital for a long time. I need to not have that happen again.

SO should be at work and not driving me for treatments. He's having trouble managing things and I've lost my voice so I am having to text. Keeps asking me Questions..."What? What? I can't hear you.?"
