A Little Excerpt

November 2019

“I’m feeling so much better now,” Rhody Leyman said to his friend and former neighbor, Levi Cranston, over the phone.
“That’s good. What did they say?” Levi asked.
“Brain scan came back clear. They did that because I had issues with constantly hearing my heartbeat with my most recent ear infection, and they wanted to make sure that I didn’t have anything that could have caused that. Eustachian tube scan came back mostly clear. They said nothing serious showed up on the scan, but my Eustachian tubes are slightly underdeveloped.”
“So what are they gonna do now?”
“They’re going to do another round of ear tube placement. Hopefully that will work. If it doesn’t, I may need to get surgery on my Eustachian tubes eventually, which I’m hoping does not happen,” Rhody replied.
“Yeah. This is your fourth time, right?” Levi asked.
“Yep. And it’s gonna suck since I’m gonna be awake now. Apparently they don’t completely put you under when you’re an adult. I had my dad on the phone when my doctor was explaining everything to us.”
“How’s Randy doing?”
“He’s doing great. He and Estrella are going to Vegas in a couple weeks.”
“Nice.”
