Okay, had to post a quick update even though I am starting to feel twice my age since all I can talk about these days is my health. Tomorrow will be six weeks since my surgery and I have to say I feel pretty good. The throat is still sore at times when I yawn and the swelling has not completely gone away. My doctor said that I should expect another few weeks to a few months before everything feels 100% (basically the swelling on one side will finally subside). Otherwise everything has been good and I cannot wait for my ears to start draining like they should once the swelling is gone. That will be the magic moment and the main reason I had this surgery in the first place. Good luck if you are about to have this surgery, the horror stories out there are rare, so don’t worry yourself sick (I did, I know how you feel).
For those of you that are drugged out right now and stumbled across this site at 3am because something doesn’t seem right, you are worried about the recovery, worried about the surgery, couldn’t sleep, or were bored with no one else in the house to talk to at this time of the morning, please leave a comment to say hello. I try to check the site at least every other day but at times am away for a few weeks so please do not feel as if no one cares about what you are going through. I may not know who you are right now but please know that I am praying for you to have a safe, speedy recovery.
