Cholesteatoma Cyst
I'm going in for ear surgery on April 16th to have a cholesteatoma cyst (tumor) removed from my right middle ear. The good news is that it's small, but the bad news is that it's taken over my hearing bones, so those have to come out.
I'll lose 100% hearing in that ear until the next surgery (to take place in September) when they will reconstruct my middle ear with prosthetic bones. I should regain at least 90% of my hearing. This is actually really good stats considering I currently am at a 20% hearing loss with this tumor in my ear, so the way I see it, I just have to hold out until September when I'll have 10% better hearing than I do now.
Anyway.... I'm busier than ever with IM, and now this. Good thing most of what I do involves email and online work (thus not requiring good hearing), but I just want to be sure I will always be able to hear my children's voices.
If anyone else has gone through cholesteatoma surgeries, I'd love to hear from you! As you can probably tell, I'm a bit nervous!!
Thanks for allowing me to share.
