- Miracle #1: Since Superior Canal Dehiscence was first identified 15 years ago, only about 150 people have been diagnosed with it and of those people, only about 80 have undergone surgery. Last week, one of those individuals walked into Home Bank in Martinsville!!!! She received her surgery on September 1st of this year. She gave Melissa (my sister-in-love) her name and phone number and I'm going to call her tonight. Amazing!!!
- Miracle #2: All but one procedure is covered by my insurance at 90% of the cost, so that's good news.
- Miracle #3: My husband, my husband, my husband. He is my hero in the truest meaning of the word.
Tough parts:
- Crappy thing #1: The one procedure the insurance company doesn't want to cover is incredibly expensive and incredibly necessary. It's the difference of the surgeon having to shave my entire head versus only a 3 inch by 1 inch place. Guess if I were Michael Jordan or Mr. Clean, I'd be okay w/ that. We're appealing.
- Crappy thing #2: Holiday parties. I should enjoy them but it's hard when all of the jolliness (is that a word? i don't think so!) leaves me feeling like I'm in the middle of a drum being beat by an army of children.
That's 3 miracles and 2 crappy things. I'll take it for this week.

IMHO Miracle #3 is actually a curse, but what do I know.
