Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Sherry, I went for my post op today (2 1/2 weeks post surgery). Not all the gel packing was dissolved, although thankfully he vacuumed out what he could. Yea, I can hear. I go back on Jan 12th to get the rest done (please). He said there is still a lot of swelling in my ear. But for now is very pleased. I too have experienced pain in the scar. It's been burning and is painful to touch. He didn't think it was abnormal. Also had some pricking for a few days last week. Ugh. Didn't like that. I too was nervous about it. But it's gone away now. : ) Hope you continue to feel better and glad you could hear the tuning fork!!!!
