Rich Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='398849' date='Feb 3 2009, 12:57 PM']Aww! Just literally (or is that litearally!) got back from hospital - still alive! The surgery was actually undertaken from the outer ear so the removal of the mastoid infection was done without having to drill loads of it out from behind the ear - the new `temple-skin graft' eardrum is in place and packed so should have a better clue as to whether the hearing comes back in 3 weeks time! Thanks for all the wishes - really appreciate them! Am staying with relatives for a few days but will be back online later this week! Stay tuned! Nick[/quote] Ah yes, now I remember what you were suffering from..! My son had mastoiditis when he was younger, although his was sorted out fairly quickly he had the added complication of a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteatoma"]cholesteatoma[/url] growth too. Thankfully he has recovered fully from both and his hearing is still good -- he's only lost 10% or so in that ear, but that is apparently entirely down to the cholthingy, not the mastoiditis. So you should be fine! Quote
wizbat Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 +1 to all the good wishes Nick. See! all that slapping is bad for your hearing :-) Quote
josh3184 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 hope everything heals up nicely, glad to hear it went well! Quote
Weird War Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Glad to hear op went ok, best wishes for a smooth recovery to full bass action soon. Quote
steve-soar Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Obviously Nick cupped his ears far too furiously when his other half said that they were sick of all those basses, resulting in said damage. Hope you return to full speed. Best wishes, from a retired slapper. Quote
Kiwi Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Living with rellies huh Nick? Need someone to pop in and keep all those basses warmed up while you're away? Glad the surgery was straight forward, hope the hearing is fixed good as new too. Quote
