Well, I ran into a little bad luck this week. I only had two issues of bad luck so I'm waiting for the third bad luck happening.
I decide to change the ceru disks on my hearing aids. These disks are meant to trap the ear wax before it gets in the hearing aid. I've always had trouble with this procedure. You are given a device which is to take out the old disk and put in a new one. I tried and I couldn't get it and finally gave up. When I put the hearing aids back on the right one didn't work! The stress level went out the roof. Hearing aids are costly and I was much afraid that I had broken something.
The next morning I was looking in a drawer and found something that I was not familiar with. At first I couldn't even open it. When I did get it open I was surprised to find a different gismo to change the disks. I tried it and it worked like a charm. So the stress evaporated instantly. I forgot that I had been given this device as it would be better than the old one.
Yesterday was a fine day so I decided to walk and take some photos. When I tried to take the first photo the camera didn't work. Lights came on and an image was in the view finder but the camera would not click and take the photo. This blew my stress level up as I thought the camera was finished.
When I got home I decided to check the batteries. What had happened was not like dead batteries. For dead batteries the camera turns off no warning.
Well, I changed the batteries and guess what? Problem solved.
Stress is over. So I didn't get photos for this post.
So I'm anxious again. Isn't bad like supposed to come in threes?
Yes, messing with our hearing aids and trying to do things that could hurt them is nerve-wracking. My pull tab wire bent and went into the air tunnel. I thought it's pulled out totally. One time I thought it totally stopped working. Turns out enough moisture was in the tubing to stop sound. Another reason I like the wire type ones instead of the air tube type. They definitely don't do well if you leave it on the coffee table and a visiting dog big dog thinks it's a chew toy. Everything on it broke with those jaws! Your two things don't really count as broken things, so you don't need to look for the third item. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad all of that worked out. Be careful about being too intense about a third episode. You could cause your own bad luck.
