((((tallwaters))))) you have been through such high stress with the hearing, and now the uncertainty of waiting for an answer. this is a lot going on, but you're working through it, doing the right things like journaling, reaching out for support. things will hopefully look up after a night of sleep, tomorrow's a new day. do you like tea, can you drink some relaxing type? and things to self-comfort are good, i like my cats and my fluffy bed.
