Hi y’all! It’s been almost two months since I have moved into my dorm and started college! My roommate and my suitemates are all wonderful, beautiful people. My college classes are, well, challenging, but I think that after 7 weeks of school, I am finally getting the hang of things. I also broke down and got a moleskin journal! I love it! I’m trying now to get my November spread up because in the next few weeks I am going to be incredibly busy.
I have more hearing loss in my right ear than I did two weeks ago, which is super scary right now. I have a CT scan next Thursday to rule out a recurrence of my tumor, but my ENT thinks that it’s just the hole in my ear getting bigger. If there isn’t a tumor, and it’s just the hole, I’m looking at either getting a hearing aid at the age of 19, which could help bring my hearing all the way back to 100% (which I haven’t had in almost 9 years) or I’ll be getting a surgery around winter break to close up the hole. The problem with the surgery would be that it would block off the Eustachian tube, which is what caused the tumor in the first place. Please pray for me!
I also have 5 exams next week, and I think I’m handling the stress pretty well. I say that in the hopes that I don’t get super anxious right before any of those tests.
Regardless of any of these high priority topics, I’m still going to go have dinner tonight with one of my bible study leaders tonight, before our meeting! I think that it will be fun.
Love, Omi
