Sore Ears

Well, a Partial nights sleep, up at 3;30AM with some bleeding on the right ear, funny as this is the one that has never had a Tube placed until now, my left ear has had 4 different stages of inserts!
.

.

There are literally hundreds of different types of tubes, inserts and material they can insert into your ears, usually this is done as a small child, well I am a small child as I have had a few !

.

I have gone to Ear, Nose and Throat  for a long time,  Dr. Hillerman a wise old Ear specialist checked my ear. saw some infection and put in my first small "Tube".

.

.

This is what an ear tube looks like planted in the ear drum, close to the bottom of the ear drum so the infection drains out !

.

Over the past 20 years I have had numerous ear infections,  and 3 more "Tubes",  the last Tube was a T-Tube which was supposed to last a long time but fell out after 2 months.

.

I went for years with a slowly growing scar tissue to cover the Holes in my ear.    About 2 years ago I started losing my Hearing in my left ear again, I had to go have a hearing test and it showed me deaf in left ear and 25-30 % loss in right ear.

.

I was then allowed to go to ENT as my insurance would cover this 5th insert in left ear and 1st insert in right ear.

.

.

This is what they put in my right ear and for some reason wants to bleed !

.

.

This is the New "Triune Tube" they put in my Left Ear, this is rather large due to there being so much scar tissue which is why I had to have it done surgically in the Operating room Thursday Morning,  I have Drops to put in it so it drains away the infection I have and will stay in hopefully a long time !

.

So, it's keep water out of my ears, keep them stuffed with Cotton after the Ear Drops and go back for a check up to see what progress I made !

.

Being I was a Good Boy in Surgery, this is what we had for Dinner tonight !

.

.

Medium Rare Prime Rib, Salt Potatoes, Green Beans, Tossed Salad, Marook Flat Bread and Au Jus !

.

.

As you can see I did a pretty good job on the Prime Rib, I might not hear too well but I can still eat !!!!!

.

Have a Good Weekend,

.

Don't forget, Remember our Veterans !
