Still trying to get this blog thing going. There is some confusion as to how to reply and how do I get any messages people send to me. My 13 year old son has been busy with lots of home work so I have to wait until he has some free time to help me get this all going. He is very good at figuring out all this tech stuff.
Paul went with me yesterday (he is so sweet)so we could both meet with the ear surgeon. I have had progressive hearing loss in both ears but far worse in the left. After having several tests done it looks like my hearing loss is the kind that can be fixed with surgery. The risk for complications is about 1 or 2 % which is small unless you are one of the 1 or2 % that it happens to.
We decided that we liked the doctor and it is worth the risk. My lack of hearing has been more frustrating than I have let on. We are just waiting for the hospital to call and set up a date. I will have to take it easy for a week or two but other than that sounds like I can expect a full recovery. The docotr thinks since I have very small ear canals that instead of going through the ear like they do in most cases that they will have to make a little incision behind my ear to get in and make the repair. He siad this is not a big deal and not to worry about it.
