Hi All,

Have the following surgery tomorrow combined approach tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy and ossiculoplasty.

I’m really nervous, they didn’t see a cholesteatoma on the CT but obviously can’t confirm if there is or isn’t without operating. Main reason for surgery is all the muck in my ear and mastoid, and my incus bone eroded from all the repeated ear infections and my lower tone hearing loss.

I’m really nervous for the recovery, could you give me some positive advice and stories.
