Second surgery on Wednesday

[Guest guest]

I'm waiting to find out if they can have the infection down by Tuesday in order

to have my second surgery. I had a modified radical mastoidectomy 5 years ago.

Now he's saying that he might not have been able to get to the cholesteatoma in

that first operation. So he has to go back to get it. He's saying he might

have to cut the bone in the middle ear to get to it. Does that mean that I'll

essentially be deaf in that ear. I have a hard time talking with my doctor and

understanding what he's saying. He said something about using some type of bone

amplifier so that I would be able to hear. Really didn't understand what he

meant. Any insight is appreciated.
