Ear Update

Well I went in for my check up with my ear doctor, Dr. Scholl... you know.. that LONG AWAITED and several times POSTPONED appointment that I've been waiting for? lol. Well, I went in, and he basically just said he couldn't tell, so he was gunna put me under the microscope. So we went into another room, where I laid down on a bed/table thing, and he took out the remaining packing and blood and wax etc from my ear so that he could see. Aaaaaand... I still have a hole. Sorry, I know, not exciting news. Basically it's really high up on the ear drum, which should make my hearing a little better.. and it's really tiny. Once again he was about to tell me good news, and then he spotted it. It's just a tiny tear, a fraction of the size the hole used to be.. but it exists. So I'll check back up when I come back from BYUI for the fall.. and hope that it heals by itself for now. So I still can't get water in my ear, but it does mean that if I get on an airplane in the next while, I wont have to worry about the pressure changes bursting my ear.. cuz it's already broken! hah.

Anyway, there's your update.
