Two months post surg and have a cold!
« on: November 26, 2010, 08:24:36 pm »
I have a very ordinary head cold; i am past the time I have to worry about sneezing, etc so not too worried. But after a couple days of stuffy head and coughing, I have a weird noise in my AN ear; like a crackling noise. Kind of reminds me of a fire place with good dry wood. Very unsettling.  I am sure I will survive but it is another for that list of AN experiences.

So sorry about the head cold ..... not pleasant any time, but especially nasty two months post-op.  I am not a doctor ( :-*) but my guess is you have plugged or partially plugged eustachian tubes, which really messes up hearing.  You might call your doctor's office and ask what he/she would recommend for relief in your particular situation.

It does stink to have a cold!  I'd say make yourself some hot chocolate with marshmallows, put your feet up and if you don't have a fireplace, now is a good time to pretend you do!   ;)

Feel better soon!
