Stepping back in time for a bit here!

We moved in may from PDX to Utah to save money... I wished we had stayed in PDX, but not due to the fact that this is where it all started... On our way to utah my ears weren't popping the way they should have been. They were just not popping at all.  We went over "The Bitch" ( a huge incline of where we go from being at 350 ft above sea level to almost 13000 ft in a matter of minutes then back down again to about 1200 ft ) My ears just started to hurt like hell. I was driving and not about to let James take over driving the big truck that we had ( 32 footer Penske truck ) I was having a hard time with driving it, and I was having fun!  


We pulled over and parked at a hotel and stayed the night, the next morning my ears still didnt feel right! I just didnt feel right about my ears but I was hoping they would not hurt me anymore.


We finally get to Davids parents house in Lehi, Utah to drop his crap off to him, which was my idea.  I would do anything for Jason David. After I started to lift some things I noticed my ears were ringing a little as they were popping.  Again, I thought nothing of it.  then we got to moms house, and unloaded our stuff in to the house and same ringing in the ear but worst. 


Two or three weeks go by and still ringing but not in left ear as much as the right.


Another week goes by and left ear stopped ringing all together but right ear has only picked up a lot more tinnitus.  There was one time that I felt I was going crazy,, literally.


James and I went to Idaho to pick up the kids and take them to PDX for James' graduation.  June 4, 2009 !!!  yay :) 


When we arrived in PDX my tinnitus just tapered off to silence!  I was relieved I had gone to CC Slaughters to hang out with my friends and to relax.  Listening to my friends talk and all that music and no tinnitus was heaven.


no tinnitus for james' graduation or the remaining time we are in PDX.  


Headed back to Utah for James to get on a plane to minneapolis to start his life as a doctor the moment was finally here.  I have never been more prouder of anyone in my life than I was the moment he got up on that stage to get his degree, and the moment he walked through the security gates at SLC international airport! 


After he left I got into my moms car to head back to moms house, I shut the car door and BOOM! there it was again!!  I was like Ahhhhhhhhhh  !
