The whooshing sound in my neck and ear is more noticeable today. It was roaring when I woke up. Still not sure what to make of it. Another possibility besides eustachian tube or arterial is vascular, but nothing really makes sense at the moment. I’m still not worried about it because, other than that one time I had a little bit of lightheadedness, I haven’t had any other symptoms.

A new golf course came out — Forgotten Fairyland. We both like it.

We also discovered a new type of waterbed on Amazon for much less than what I paid for this one. Instead of having foam around the borders, this one has air, so it’s a combination of a full-bladder waterbed with an air mattress for borders. It looks pretty promising. The only thing I might worry about is whether or not the air part might puncture. It would also be cool if I could put it right into this cover that I’ve got, although there is one for $350 that comes with a cover.

We added more water to the tubes because, while it’s comfortable as hell, if it gets too soft, then I get hip pain. I asked Tom if he thinks we have to keep adding water because it’s stretching but he doesn’t think so. He thinks it’s just not a very deep fill — and when you think about it, it really isn’t. The tubes themselves are barely four inches, if even that. If you’re 100 pounds or less, it would be fine, but in certain positions, especially when I sit up, my butt hits bottom. The one we were looking at has a deeper fill.
