This doesn't sound like great news! I hope they find good things

instead of bad thing, but hope if they do find something, they can fix

it.

How about putting a cushion or pillow down first? If it works you can

either let it drip dry until the next time or alternate with a couple of

pillows.... unless of course, you just want to launder it every night.

When we had season hockey tickets, I'd bring ear plugs for those nights

when the volume was turned up painfully loud to me (everyone else said

it was loud, but it didn't hurt or bother them). The ear plugs worked

for what they were suppose to, but then I had a hard time talking with

everyone else. I felt like I was shouting loudly, but instead I was

apparently muttering. The lost of the hearing made me unable to

determine the level of my voice.

For whatever this tidbit is worth.
