I had a tube put in my right ear in the doctors office today. My friend took me down to Fayetteville, GA for the surgery. Not so bad really but it was not pain free. Glad I only had to do one ear. My friend had a birdseye view. The surgeon showed her every step of the procedure. And she was holding my hand the whole time...quite a friend. She saw him put the numbing drop in (which was the MOST painful thing), gave me the local anesthetic, then cut me and put the tube in, which did hurt but he got it in the 2nd attempt! He showed her my brain fluid pulsing behind my ear drum. And then stuck the cotton ball in and I was done. She enjoyed it WAY more than I did!!
Now I have to collect brain fluid until Wed when I take it in to be analyzed.
The worst part of all of this? My husband has been in Arizona all week and he's sick. Had to go on antibiotics as soon as he got home. Checked in to a hotel 5 mins from our house because I can't be around anyone sick. I miss my husband soooooooo much. He is sick and can't come home. How awful is that?
