12/1/2020 Matt decides not to serve this week in post-service prayer. His voice is just too weak to be heard over music and conversation.
12/16/2020 Matt has his full physical with the primary care physician. He is a picture of health other than that hoarseness. He gets a referral to the ENT from primary care, but it isn’t for any sooner than the one I’ve already got scheduled for him. Seriously, he is a picture of health the last day of him being a 36-year-old! He doesn’t brag too hard about his excellent blood pressure knowing that mine is always significantly elevated by the “white-coat”.
We cancel the birthday get-together on account of his voice–several folks can’t come anyway–“maybe next year,” we say.
Woohoo, there has been a cancellation at the ENT office, so we’ll get in before Christmas!
