Non cancerous tumor destroyed the middle and inner ear causing lots of pain and total deafness on the right side.

Surgery was done to remove it and reconstruct the ear.

Should take about eight weeks as the bones heal up and adjust to the new implants but eventually yes.

Well God speed on a great recovery brotha! Sounds awful and painful and that's putting it mildly. Keep us updated as you progress!

Walking has been a struggle for me for the last 7 years.... you get use to it...... a metal plate on your forehead would help though......

We may give you some crap on the board, but it's all good natured! I sincerely hope all goes well and your recovery is complete and complication free!

The entire right side of my head is numb and doctors say it’ll be like that for “potentially several months.”

Also, my taste buds are dead. No flavor whatsoever.

So that’s cool.

ON a positive note, you won't have to complain about a crappy meal! Good to see you checking in!

That’s very true. It all tastes like nothing.

My dad had most of his ear taken off because of skin cancer.

Same thing happened after my surgery and it took a couple of weeks to return. As for balance issues, I still walk like a drunk bastard at times, especially at night or dark places. So, to remedy that, I figure why not drink, people already think I'm drunk.

I hope you have a speedy recovery.
