It's a miracle

I've been virtually deaf in my right ear for many years and only 50% in my left ear but the Consultant reckoned he could fix the right ear with a Stapedectomy.
Two Mondays ago I went for surgery but came out still deaf because of the anaesthetic pads put inside my ear canal.
Today I went to have them removed and let's just say it got emotional.
I can now hear things I've never heard before but going back to my job it was an experience hearing sounds coming from everywhere.
I'm now sitting here with the TV on a low volume and Mrs SexyGreyFox asked me to turn it up a bit

the Consultant has filled it with a cream that will dissolve so I'm still not at full hearing but I was for a few minutes in the Clinic and it was weird hearing in stereo.

Go me.

Mind you I come home, go to the GP and my diabetes has got worse so I'm on extra pills and I've been given a machine to test my blood sugar.

Pardon?

No medical threads. J/K congrats on the new hearing

Great news.
Hope you get your diabetes under control, my mum cured hers a few months ago after over 10years, with a ketogenic diet. No longer on any meds.

Congrats mate,

Little tip, don't tell the missus precisely how good your hearing is, keep a bit in reserve.

DirtyJester · 22 Dec 2015 at 20:40

Delighted for you

Watch the sugar levels!

Let's hope you get the diabetes under control though.

Gratz

Was it otosclerosis and does it run in your family?

Mynight · 22 Dec 2015 at 20:55

Congrats! But no excuse for not hearing the Mrs now

One of the best Christmas presents the OP could wish for I suspect... well apart from the last bit!

Good news indeed!

Yaayuh! · 22 Dec 2015 at 21:22

I've had issues with my ears all my life, so I'm very glad to see that you've been fixed

many congrats!!
