I just returned from my 4 week follow up! It hasn’t been quite 4 weeks, but close enough. MY TYMPANOPLASTY WAS SUCCESSFUL!!!! I was SO nervous walking in to the appointment. It has been a LONG few weeks and this was basically D Day for my ear drum! He removed the packing that was left […]
So far so good. I am in no pain – so I haven’t taken Vicodin in a few days. This is good! I still cannot hear and I can feel blood rush directly to my ear if I move too fast-it’s weird. I also randomly hear some ringing which is slightly annoying – but overall […]
Well, I woke up feeling pretty good! My pain is significantly less than the previous days. Yay! I still want to dig in and rip out all the packing out of my ear because my hearing is all messed up. It is so uncomfortable. GRRRR! Hopefully it’s a small price to pay in the grand […]

Something new that drives me crazy is multiple sources of noise. If my son is talking/yelling/screaming/singing/ whatever it may be, someone is […]
On the road to recovery! One day after surgery. I woke up in pain. My ear had sharp consistent pain and I had a major headache. My ear felt disgusting – I could feel stuff oozing and soaking the cotton ball. I changed out the cotton ball and bandaid. It was bloody and disgusting-which is […]
I was completely fine until the night before surgery. I thought to myself, been there, done that. I became increasingly nervous and scared. I was with all the people I love, my husband and son, my parents, and all my in-laws for a pre St. Paddy’s Day dinner/party. Everyone was happy and having a […]
Well, here it is. My very first blog post. At 35 years old, I am now officially part of the blogging world – I feel so……FRESH. I recently had ear surgery and because of the tedious recovery, have been reading other people’s online accounts of the same surgery and I found it both helpful and […]
