John's ENT appt.

 Well today we didn't do anything. I didn't think he would be having surgery today, but John kept telling me he was. Of course he didn't. It was just a consultation. I was like what doctor would operate with out looking at it first. And its not just a ruptured ear drum, it is more. When John was little he had a bunch of ear infections because of this "ear diseases". It caused one out of three bones in the ear to degrade and it is now gone. The second bone has now fused to the last bone. Then when the doctor blew his ear drum it caused a flap of it to hang. What can happen is that that piece will start to grow and it will grow into a big ball. Once it touches bone it will be to eat the bone and rot it away. If it is left for too long it can eat at the skull bone and the brain can drop down into the ear canal! Can you say malpractice? So he goes now Nov. 12 for surgery. They will fix both problems. It will be between 3-6 weeks recovery time. So basically he wont start flight school until after the new year. Which means we will be here for 2.5 years! I want out of this hell hole.
