I’m not very happy that my doctor wants to try to operate on my ear again. She claims there has been significant advancement in terms of cochlear implants and that this time it should work flawlessly. Yes well, that’s what I’ve heard the last three times they’ve worked on my ear, and each time I’ve lost a little more hearing in my ear, a little more feeling on that side of my face and it’s driving me up a wall that they want to go in again. This is the last time I’m allowing them to work on my ear because really I’ve adapted by now to having almost no hearing in that ear, it really doesn’t bother me as much as the doctor thinks it should. Single sided deafness is something I got used to as a child, and having to cope with less and less hearing after surgeries is time consuming and disheartening. So I go in Monday to get another round of surgery on my ear, another implant put in that hopefully works and doesn’t cause the infections and other problems I’ve had in the past. I’m worried though, I hate the surgeries yes, but never had anyone to care about my well being, or the fact part of my head was going to be shaved. Ah well, guess it’s time for a new hair style. Hope Myko handles the news well. Not sure why he wouldn’t. I’m just worried how my body is going to handle it. Again.
