i hate talking about me, but lets do it anyway

ive missed work. for doctors and hospitals and tests. ive seen maybe four doctors in one week, had a weird test (ENG) and have found out the following:

my balance issue - dont know
MRI - dont know, which is a good thing (im going to get a pic of it though, i want to frame my brain)
ENG - dont know
ENT (ear, nose, throat) doc - ears drums on both side are completely retracted (sucked in to the cavity with tubes, etc behind it) causing hearing loss (which could get worse). also, i may need tubes put back in. nice. left ear is infected.

side bar: in 1982 i had surgery on my left ear. i was told i had hole in my ear drum. there was no hole. i had a mastoidectomy. there was a cyst/tumor growing behind my ear at the base of my skull (which is een through the ear, i guess) and they took it out. i didnt know this until yesterday.

good to know, wouldnt you think?

and, the ENT doc says all this ear shit isnt the cause of my balance issue.

so one answers as to why i cannot remember any thing any more or stumble side to side from time to time like a sod.


my next post, i plan on elaborating the ENG. its very fucking interesting and weird. humorous and terrifying, yeah thats how ill call it.
