Went to the dr. today to check my ears for flight-readiness...both tubes had fallen out and were just sitting in the bottom of my ear. So, he plucked those out and put in a medium level tube in my left ear. It should stay in for about 2 years. The right ear drum had 2 perforations in it (tiny holes) and he didn't want to put a tube in for two reasons: first, the holes act as pressure ventilation tubes and will keep my ears from hurting and second, by inserting the tube before the ear drum has completely healed, I could end up having damage that wouldn't heal. So we'll wait a while and see how it does.
So, now I'm ready to fly--of course, I'm a little sore, but nothing major...
