figuring it out

I haven't posted anything in a long while! But recently I have come up with a reason to post something.
Life is constantly moving forward and there is no way to stop that. And I am very privileged, I love my life! I have a wonderful boyfriend, an amazing family, and as of recently I'm going to have to learn to juggle three jobs. I'm excited to earn some money for school and spend plenty of time having fun. This is such a wonderful time of life! We are free to figure out what life we want to
And with every new adventure there becomes new challenges. Recently I suddenly wasn't able to hear out of my left ear. This went on for two and a half months, originally i though it was just simply fluid behind my ear drum and a simple tube would solve the problem and i would be able to hear again. I went to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist this week and learned that this is not the case. I learned that more than likely i will never be able to hear properly out of my left ear again. I have to get an MRI on monday and they will know more about the diagnosis.
I will more than likely have to get a hearing aid and i do not know how to handle this news! I've cried, tried to just accept it, and live with it but when i cry i feel selfish, when i ignore it i know it is something i will have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I simply do not know how to react to this news. I'm terrified that something is going to happen to my right ear and i will have to have a hearing aid in both ears, or there will be nothing they can do to help me. It is known that as you get older your hearing will get worse so i want to know what i'm up against; will it continue to get worse or will i be okay? and things will remain the same until i get older. no matter what happens i can't help but feel as if my life will never be the same.
