As a side note here is a humorous story, well at least it's funny now, but it wasn't yesterday!!! :(
I saw a new doctor for a screening to be part of a PD study (which I will tell you more about later). For those of you who don't know - I have a hearing loss which I have had most of my life and which finally caused me to get hearing aids several years ago. The hearing aids help, but are not perfect, and sometimes I still have problems making out what someone says, especially if they have an accent. This new doctor had an accent...
Doctor: "So how is your smile?"
Me: (Grinning from ear to ear to show him!) "Great"
Doctor: (Looking at me strangely as I continue to smile as big as I can) "Any problems that you notice?"
Me: (Still grinning) "Well occasionally my cheeks twinge a little"
Doctor: (Looking at me like I am a fruitcake!) "They do?" (Totally perplexed)
At this point, Hubby can't stand it any longer, and says "You didn't hear him did you?"
Me: "Yes I did - he asked me how my smile was."
Hubby: "No - your SMELL. How is your smelling ability?"
Really now...Who asks how your smell is?????
Your story sure got a big smile out of me. Keep up your wonderful humor......and the fight.

Dan, Your great! I hope God blesses you with many reasons to keep smiling! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckle! (Thank goodness Hubby was there. This could have gone from bad to worse! LOL)
ReplyDeleteYes it could have - and has before! Count your blessings all you people with good hearing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way - if I had heard him correctly when he asked "how is your smell", I am not sure I would have known how to answer him correctly anyways! (Sniff under my arms and say it's good - I put deodorant on??? Check my breath???)
