After my ENT surgery it seems there’s very little difference to my hearing, I’ve been reading up on conductive hearing loss and it seems that I may well have damaged the ossicles, the bones that transfer vibrations from the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to the oval window of the inner ear. The ossicles can be artificially replaced in the case of damage as a result of serious infection or head injury, I believe the stress I placed on them when I frustratedly pumped my hand against my ear because of an irritation, was enough to cause the kind of damage that would be associated with a head injury. But hey, I’m no Ear Doctor. With a follow up appointment in 5 weeks time it is possible I will be booked in for an MRI scan I guess to have a detailed look for damage to these parts of my ear, although it will be quite interesting I will be on yet another waiting list! When I first went deaf last June I booked an appointment with my GP who referred me to ENT, I was given a choice of available appointments in different hospitals across the area, as I assumed it would be a straight forward procedure to drain fluid from the middle ear, I chose the earliest available appointment which happened to be in Uckfield about 30 minutes drive away. However since the emerging complexity of my problem I have been tranferred to Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells (50 minutes drive) as Uckfield are under the Maidstone and District NHS. After various tests and consultations, in hindsight, I wish I had just waited another 2 weeks for a local appointment, such is the Life of Lemmy!

I dunno how, but I got ripped off £5 for trying this; yes I see see Chain pissing his pants right now, the irony of this situation is, “It’s an intelligence test.”
The BBC said This:
“A person’s Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is, arguably, one of their most important characteristics. It is believed that you can predict a person’s behavior more accurately from their IQ than from any other single piece of information about them.”
What a load of Bollocks!!!
Check out a few the clever people in history that I have researched…
1.
Einstein
It goes without question this guy is a genius, but his personal life was an array of turmoil and dysfunction. He once wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict rote learning. No Shit!
2.
Hitler
Not really a thickie… Although as infamous as you can imagine!
3.
Bill Gates
Now this fella has a lot of enemies, quite a few I feel maybe reading this. But you cannot deny this bloke his brilliance.
Here, I’ve taken 3 well known intellectual subjects with abstract ideals. Now read that part from the BBC again!

Having been to Hospital I was confronted by a Nurse who said, “Do you know who you remind me of?”
Now I’ve had this alot so I decided to do some research.
Hmmm… I’m not so sure.

I’ve got the scanner out and have decided to get some old photo’s online. This is some of the fun I had when I was in Australia in 2000 at my cousins in Brisbane. I ended up ditching the car in the pond and having to tow it out with a Ute! (4X4)
HaHa… Me and Cam, Only 17!
And 11 years later with Chain and Angel New Years Eve…

I believe I should be rich! All this dickin’ around not being able to get done the things that would make a difference is a complete waste of energy. If I was lucky enough to win the Lotto Jackpot there are a million things I would take on, people that do win and then say, “This money won’t change my life at all,” and stay at work need to be shot in the head and the money given to someone who will make good use of it. After all if it isn’t going to change anything in their lives, what was the bloody point of buying the ticket in the first place? Muppets!!!
