I'm starting this blog to record my journey of Ear problems.
I started having Ear infections at the age of 2, I had a Mastoidectomy (http://www.ent-info.nhs.uk/Mastoidectomy.htm) in 1995 at the age of 10, before that I had 6 operations for Grommets (http://www.entuk.org/patient_info/ear/surgery_grommets_html). (They all fell out within a few weeks)
Since the age of 11 I have had continuous operations to "clean out" my ears and get rid of discharge and infections, I have had to go to the ENT clinic every 6 months for a "hoovering out" and more recently I have been going every 2 months. Now thanks to having been finally referred to a decent Consultant, who actually seems to know what he is talking about, i have been given a CT scan and booked in for a Revision Mastoidectomy (http://www.medicdirect.co.uk/operations/default.ihtml?pid=1874&step=4)to) finally tackle the mess that was left behind in 1995.
My operation is due to take place on the 9th of November 2011.
This is my Story..
