Surgery

Surgery on Monday (31st) went well.

I was in theatre for just on an hour and the Dr didn't encounter any problems. The grommet was removed and when I woke up in recovery a nurse handed it to me inside a container! The worst thing about waking up in recovery was I was half awake when they took the tube out of my mouth *eww* Thankfully it's not a "clear" memory but rather a "fuzzy" one. Still *eww* though!!

I was very tired and off balance after surgery. I was sick twice on the way home (again *eww*). I couldn't hear properly out of my right ear because it was packed with a 'plug' (gauze coated in ointment and much like a wick).

Tuesday I felt like I had a hangover the entire day. I was still a little off balance, fuzzy and headachey. I went to see my specialist to have the plug removed (that didn't hurt being taken out) and he was happy with how everything went and how my ear looked.

Today I again went and saw him and again he's happy! My ear canal isn't "stenosing" and the ear drum (while it still has a hole in it from where the grommet was) looks good.

I go back a week from Monday for my next post-op check up.
