I had my first c-toma surgery today, and it went really well. Doc said

that it was fairly extensive and probably about 8-10 years old.

Overall I am feeling pretty well, as evidenced by my ability to update

you.

The canal wall was repaired, and he also repaired the eardrum. I only

lost one of the bones (the mallus) and doc says that the stapes still

has a " nice " curve in it, and he should be able to use it during the

reconstruction which will be in about 8 months.

Although I am feeling pretty good, I realize that I need my rest. Just

wanted to take the time to give hope to others that may be going

through, or about to go through the same thing - just as other members

gave me hope and helped me to cope with the possibilities!

Be well, and bright blessings to all!
