Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi all, I had my operation last week to remove the ctoma and try to reconstruct, I was in surgery for 4 hours is this normal? I do not know the outcome as yet as the surgeon was not available afterwards and I am awaiting the notes to get to my GP as Im being told that I will need more surgery. As a teenager I had many operations on my ears but these were for gromits etc and now in my late 40's I find I needed this. I was and am 90%deaf in the ear they operated on and need an aid in the other as my hearing is minimal in that as well. I have been reading some of the messages from other members ref their children etc,If it is any help it scared the life out of me and my wife so god knows what it must be like for a child, the only thing I will say is that the pain after the operation is nothing compared to the pain of all the infections. It's good to know that others out there are in the same boat as me but willing to support others. The main thing that concerns me is the lack of info after the op from the surgeons until a follow up appointment in about 6 weeks is this the same for all of us?
