So as you can imagine, I’m not the same Gonzo that I used to be...
Have you reached your final Oznog form?
Good to see you again. I can't imagine how it's been for you. Has your hearing returned at all? What is the diagnosis if you don't mind sharing?
No and I think it's due to the efforts of the Japanese government, because they're sick of rebuilding Tokyo.
Deaf was probably the wrong term to use, but I didn't want to bog the story down, it's more like two freight trains are constantly roaring past, so you do your best to try to tune it out and not go crazy, but if you're aware that someone is talking to you, you can try to focus in and piece together what they're saying.
After a heavy metal detox my left ear is back to normal, but currently, my right ear fluctuates between the sound of crashing waves and a freight train. Sarah says I mimic the sound in my sleep, so it never stops. The crazy thing is, if you put your ear to mine you'll hear it too.
Pseudotumor Cerebri (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension)
Unfortunately, I'm not eligible for either of the medications, so all they can do is monitor me and maybe a surgery if things get bad, so we have no choice but to use old world remedies to try to cure it.
Thanks man, I had a lot of fun with you on discord. Do you still hanging out on there?
I'm on discord, the voice thing has become less popular though
