The end of 2011 and start of 2012
So I’ve come to learn that no matter what I do someone is out there testing to see how much I can stand before I brake. Well to end my awful year of 2011 My boyfriend and two of our friends decied we were going to see lights and we were drving out on back roads where there weren’t many lights. Well we didn’t see that the road broke off in a y and we ended up sliding into a small hillside. No we didn’t damnge the car to bad. The front fender cracked and I ended up cracking the windsheild with my head. We all made the mistake of not wearing our sealt belts. None of us really got hurt and we ended up being very lucky. That’s how 2011 ended for me, as for 2012 to start my new year I was hanging out with my boyfriend at home and all of the sudden I didn’t feel well anymore. I ended up blacking out and waking up on my bed and my boyfriend went and got my uncle to take me to the hospital. Well when we got there I explained to the doctor that I was in a car accident a week priro to being there and that I had an ear infection. Well when the doctor looked in my ear she said that it was a bad ear infection and that my ear drum looked rupsured. So they look me for a ct scan just to make sure I wasn’t bleeding from my brain. I was already unhappy and didn’t want to be in the hospital. When the doctor came back in she told me the ear infection had spreed to the back part of my ear and they needed to start me on an iv of anobiocts and that I had to stay over night. I balled my eyes out, that hospital was the same place I look my aunt and grandma, so the last place I wanted to stay was there. Well finally they got my IV in and they look me to my room. It was hard to sleep from being so nevous and scared When the specialist came in the next moring he told me I had to have surgery. That I had a tumor in my ear and that it needed to be removed and that they needed to lift my ear drum up and drain the infection out. So Sunday I went in for my surgery around 12:30 I cried the whole time before they did anything. It was first time for me for any of this. After sugery he told my family that everything went really well. The tumor ended up being bigger than he thought and that my hearing in my left ear would never be good again. The tumor was so big is crushed all the little bones in my ear and the bone it was attched to was partly deterited from the tumor. I stayed in the hospital for three nights and I came home on tuesday. I’m not allowed back at work for a while and I can’t do much of anything right now. I’m not allowed to wash my hair cause I can’t get my ear wet, my hair has to be on my right side so it doesn’t touch my ear I’m not in a lot of pain but it sucks that my hearing is almost gone and I have to go back once a year to get checked because the tumor can come back. All and all though I have kept my head up and keep telling my self it is going to get better. I’m really hoping the worst is over though…
Random Noter: I am so sorry to hear this! My dad had the same problem when he was younger and his tumor was wrapped around his nerve, so he lost all his hearing on his left side and much of his function on his left side of his face! *big hugs* I certainly hope the worst is over for you as well! you are so strong for going through that! ~~~>
