This past Monday was the day that I finally got my tubes in my ears! The procedure was originally scheduled a couple months ago, but I caught a cold before that appointment so we had to postpone it. Our hope is that having tubes will reduce the number of ear infections this coming winter.
Mom, Dad and I arrived at the clinic at 6:30 am! Erin came over to bring John to school. It was a super quick procedure and we were all home by 10:00 am. I still have some issues with anesthesia, but the doctors are optimistic that I'll grow out of those complications.
The tubes they have now are less restrictive than when my Dad had them back in the late 70s. I can do just about anything except dive head first into a pool (the pressure change would cause some issues). During bath time, I'll just have to put some cotton balls in my ears to prevent soapy water from getting in there.
