Today marks 4 weeks since surgery! The weirdest thing happened yesterday! I had a horrible headache since Saturday but I thought it was from stresss. But... I was in the gym at work and suddenly felt my ear open and fluid rush into my head. My headache went away instantly. It was CREEPY! Since then, though, my ear feels open and I don't feel fluid moving when I swallow or yawn. I didn't realize I was still feeling pressure until it was gone! There was also a sonic boom right after...weird.
Our sweet school nurse has a tympanography machine and checked my ear pressure today. In the picture, my right (unimplanted) ear is on top. The numbers for my left ear are all in the normal range, which is good and surprising. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for pressure to return to normal and fluid to decrease. I'm very thankful to be healing well!
Hi Jill! Thanks for the comment on my blog! I am so happy to have a new friend in the blog world! I'm actually from Hanford, live in Lemoore now. :) I read up on a little of your blog - sounds like you just went through a big surgery! Hope you're doing well.
