Today was a litte different
After having a heavy head cold last Easter, I noticed that my hearing was very poor in my right ear. My G.P sent me to a ENT specialist and of course the anxiety set in . I have mets in my skull bone on the right side near my ear. The specialist was very kind and ensured me that it was just fluid built up behind the ear drum. I had a hearing test which found that I was profoundly deaf in that ear. After nasal spray and Prednisone failed to clear the ear , today I had a grommet inserted in the ear. I had the choice of a light anaesthetic in hospital or he could give me a local anaesthetic and have it done in the surgery. I opted for the latter and had the procedure done this morning. My specialist said I was very brave, but I think if you can get through chemo you can cope with just about anything. After I left the surgery everything sounded so loud . People that spoke to me sounded like they were shouting , so I guess it has been successful. You dont appreciate you hearing until you loose it.
