"Say what???"

"Wooofta...." let me just tell you all this is exactly how I feel right now. I have so much to tell you guys, that I do not even know where to start or how to make such a LONG FAST story be so SHORT... but I will try my best.

So, what is going on? IT IS ALL GREAT NEWS!!!!!! I went to see another Dr. Tuesday night. We have heard some recommendations about him, so my family and I thought it would not hurt to go hear a different opinion. Turns out this DR. became my hero so far. He was awesome, super patient, super nice, and very willing to hear my case and explain my situation like if we were playing Apples to Apples. He agreed with all the treatment that I had received and thought I had been doing exactly what he initially would have said too, however, he said to me that he did not see the reason why I could not fly back to the States!... I swear as soon as he said this, I WAS NO LONGER DEFT (haha kidding) but I was like "Say whaaaat?!" He mainly said that the time period that my body needed to be in absolute rest (12 days I had been in bed) had been more than enough. For now on, it did not matter if I spent another week in bed or even month. Time is the KEY to get better he said, but your ear is strong enough for you to be able to travel and be back in the States. He mainly said "If you were my daughter, I would much rather have you go back to the States and follow up your treatment there, than stay here. We can only do so much for you, and we have already done it. Now it is time for you to continue it over there."

Well with this said, I left the Drs. office thinking and wondering what to do next! I talked about it with my parents and discussed some ideas, then we talked about it with my grandpa on Wednesday morning and by Wednesday afternoon I was buying my ticket to come back to the States. There really was no reason why I should remain in bed doing nothing, when I can be doing so much here. I JUST GOT TO CHICAGO today. My friend Kendra picked me up from the Airport and she will be taking me to see a Dr. tomorrow here in Chicago. I am excited to follow up my treatment here!

I feel great, the flight went VERY WELL. I did not feel a thing and my ears did not hurt a single bit. I followed the Drs. orders and did absolutely everything my mom said I should do (and this time I really mean I followed every single rule). I told myself before the plane took off "Now Mariana, if you see a GIANT flying turtle... do not jump off the plane and try to go get it... gotta stay calm now and be 100% conscious!"..... and so I did.

I will keep you all informed on how things turn out tomorrow with the Dr. she is my friends mom who works with all kinds of hearing aids, we are hoping to find one that will work partially for my right ear. In this way I will have a fully recovered ear, while my left side still works to recover some noises.

Alright, I am exhausted... it has been a crazy last couple of days. I swear by Tuesday night I heard the I could fly and now look at this, it is Thursday night and I am already in the States!

Going to bed, good night Mexico. Good morning AMERICA!
