2 Week Post Operation (All Clear)

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys..

I had my 2 week follow up Post OP yesterday for my surgery which was

Removal of Cholosteatoma with Myringoplasty and OCR. All the packing

has now been removed and everything seems to be in great working

order. While I was there I was explaining to my specialist that my

ears keep on popping and I can hear from the operated ear, so he

thought he may as well do a hearing test while he was there... After

testing my operated ear (which remember was only 2 weeks ago) they

found that my hearing decibels is 30dcb at this point, and there is

still dissolvable gel in my ear. Prior to the surgery it was approx

50db... The doctor was most impressed but more so I nearly collapsed

from shock. It's a nice christmas present to be hear news like

that... Since my surgery I have been feeling great, my tinnitus is

down (for now anyway, but who knows), I feel clear headed, I'm more

confident with my hearing....

Anyway, I thought I would share it with the people who understand me

most. Friends and Family do care, but sometimes it's hard to feel

what sufferers of this disease feel... Merry Christmas to you all

and please remain strong no matter how difficult obstacles may appear

to be. Having been diagnosed almost 2 years ago in both ear, 2

surgeries and recovery I am stronger today than what I was 2 years

ago. Reality is I may have to fight this again, but like I've said

in the past I'm all for putting up a fight... For those having

surgery in the near future, i'll be thinking of you and will say

prayer...

Merry Christmas Guys.... Cheers
