Ear Surgery

I had to go to the ENT Friday for a checkup - well it wasn't the best of news. My hearing test was poor - I had a low hearing loss already but this time I did not do well at all. I have a set of permanent tubes in my ears now (3rd set of tubes) and the doctor says there is a buildup around the tubes that is causing them not to work like they should so next month he is going to replace them. It looks like my surgery will either be May 1st or May 22nd.
