Ear Issues

 I posted that I was having some hearing issues,  Well went to Hospital in Watertown and went to the Specialist at ENT for my exam.  and.....

I have fluid built up inside the Ear Drum,  I have had this before and have had 4 Ear Tubes put in my left Ear Drum which cleared up the Hearing !  Not this time!

.

In the drawing the Black on my Ear Drum is infection there now that needs to be removed.
First they will take me to Operating Room, go thru my Nose and into my Eustachian Tube and Balloon open an area of blockage preventing some drainage.    Next they will go in thru the Ear Canal and put in my 5th Drainage Tube,  I have a lot of scar tissue on my left ear drum.
.
I have to have Surgical Clearance to have this done due to some bleeding and I will have to go off my Blood Thinners but will need OK from Cardiologist to do so!   I am hoping to get this done as soon as possible in 2023 !
.
Christmas is almost here and we are ready,  Going to Visit Grand Daughter and Grandson and Great Grand son and Great Granddaughter Wednesday evening for Dinner.
.
We have not seen our 2 year old Great Granddaughter maybe once or twice in past 2 years due to Covid and Sickness !  Same with 4 year Old Great Grandson !
.
Above are the Grands !!   Aiden and Amelia !

Found this Old Picture of me taken while in High School with my First Guitar,  It was an "Arch Top-F Hole" which I had for years.     Don't remember what happened to it.  I remember in the Service there was a Shipmate who had one like it and I would Join Him on Deck and sit and Play and Sing till the wee hours !

Love the pictures of you and your love, but also the YOung you. Amazing our thoughts and plans at that age. I like to think about it.
Sorry about that fluid. All those procedures are mystifying even to me with all my ear work. It will all work out, There are some savvy folks in Medical now.
Sending the best of charismas wishes your way.
Love to you and the sweet Anna Mae,
Sherry & jack down this way
