User blog:Shockfreeze/Something major in my life

The day before Thanksgiving (American holiday), the 27th for those who don't observe that holiday, I will begin recovering from a surgery. Why, and what kind of surgery?

Well, this is an ear surgery. The summer before I began 8th grade, in July of 2012, I'd had another ear surgery. This was in my left ear, and it was an exploratory surgery to discover what the problem was. The problem with my left-ear-hearing was a cholesteatoma. That's essentially just a growth in the ear. I had been very, very lucky, because it hadn't been spreading like most of them do. However, when my surgeon removed it, they discovered that it had eroded one of my three inner ear bones, which would keep my hearing down (even if I have nothing blocking the way!). How do we know that it does? Well, hearing tests show that my hearing's just fine beyond those, but there are only two of those sensitive ear bones there.

So what they're gonna do is go into my left ear canal (again) and reconstruct my inner ear bone. They're gonna do that by putting in a titanium bone.

But that's all I know about the surgery, and it's all I WANT to know. And this is major in my life, as my hearing's faded away as the bone was gone. It's still okay, but I sometimes can't hear what people are tryin' to tell me, so.

Yes.
