Just playing catchup here. I was able to take off my ear-guard which was amazing because it was pushing so hard on my head and causing me a constant headache. So now I've got that off and you can see the bandage that covered where they took the skin graft from to help repair my inner ear. Warning: could be gross!

I've taken the pictures, but I haven't able to keep up posting. Here are the shots for 1-12-2010.

OK, so I didn't get around to posting pictures yesterday, so here they are now. I'm really not in that much pain, but it is very uncomfortable. I've got splints in my nose, so I can't breathe through it, so my tongue constantly becomes a dry piece of leather. I also have to sit and sleep with my head propped above my chest, so that makes it a little hard to get good sleep. However, I am still very thankful that I am in very little pain and that I'll be able to breathe better and hear better soon!

Hi Folks,

As usual, it has been a while. Tomorrow morning at 6:50 AM, I am reporting to Methodist Hospital, where I will have two procedures done: Deviated Septum and Ear Drum repair. I figured it might be interesting to have some before and during recovery photos of my face. So, here is the day before surgery.

I hope to hear from you guys soon. Hopefully much more clearly.
