Kim took me to my appointment yesterday to have the tube put in my ear. It was done at the hospital as an outpatient procedure and didn't take much time at all and wasn't terribly painful. It also didn't correct the blocked ear.
The doctor and nurse involved in the procedure seemed quite surprised that my hearing didn't immediately improve and, in fact, was even worse for a while. It did improve slightly overnight but I'm not sure it's any better than it was previous to the tube.
I'm not happy, of course, and just hope my ear will clear in time with the tube inserted to remove the fluid behind the ear drum. That's all I can do.
