Oh dear, Steve .....

This is so unfair!  Yes, sometimes it does feel like one step forward, two steps backward.  Hopefully this next surgery will fix your problem once and for all and then it will be all steps forward!!

Many thoughts and prayers.

I will add my prayers also.  The major surgery is bad enough let alone having additional surgeries to correct things that pop up later.  I hope the next surgery is your last.

Steve ~

Thanks for the update but I'm sorry it's not a good report.  I'll keep you in prayer for a successful, uncomplicated surgery and a good outcome.  Meanwhile, please stay connected here and try to keep us updated, when you can.  Thanks.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you can get the problem fixed without complications.
Do they have to re-pack the area or is a new eardrum sufficient?

Best regards, Kenneth
