Last night we had a couples night out with good friends. We've seen them in January, but you'd think we hadn't seen them in 10 years, the warm greeting that we got!1 That was nice. Hugs, kisses! Goodness, how sweet, right? Well!! My friend's husband put me in a bear hug, had his lips on my good ear and did the ear kiss. The mmmm, SMACK sound. Ever get that? Well, he smacked right in the good ear and it was a direct hit, let me tell you, and it was totally bizarre what I experienced in a nano-second. I saw a blinding white light and I think I had total deafness for a mere blip of a second. It was like a spear of sound/sound went in and stabbed me. I gasped and scared him to death, and hung on him and said...well, actually, I'm not sure what I said now. Something along the lines of, if I lose the hearing in my good ear then I'm done for...or words to that effect. No more ear smacks!! It was very disconcerting, and a bit painful and very startling. Anyone else ever had this experience. Don't want a repeat of that, ever again, thank you.
