Today, Joseph had his second post ear surgery check-up. Basically, we found out that his hearing hasn't improved since Dr. Hill put in a top-of-the-line prosthetic incus two months ago. The current theory is that the footplate at the bottom of his stapes has been immobilized by numerous infections. After exploring our options, Joseph decided it was time to give up for the time being and get a hearing aid. He took the first step and had a mold made of his ear. After the mold is made, he will be able to try out different hearing aids for forty days before he has to make a decision about which one he will purchase. Our next stop was the University of Utah to order a copy of Joseph's transcripts. While we were in the neighborhood, we couldn't resist stopping at The Pie. After volunteering, Joseph spent a large chunk of his night teaching me about Photoshop and then we watched Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.

We love The Pie. There is one in Ogden and we find ourselves drawn to it every few months.
I'm glad you'll be able to get a hearing aid. Hopefully it will make a BIG difference.
Only a real man would get a hearing aid! Way to be a real man!
Here I am, leaving a comment. I hope your hearing aid goes over well, and you get into medical school!
I wish the surgery had been more successful. It's good that hearing aids are pretty good these days. I also haven't told you great job on the MCAT!! It must feel so good to be done and know your score. All I have to say is: come to OHIO STATE!!!!!
