ENT visit

So third visit to the ENT doctor. The first two visits we tried two different antibiotics with no success. This time he decided that there could be fluids in my inner ear so he poked a hole in my ear drum. Yeah it hurt. There were some fluids, but not much. He seems to think that things will improve over the next two weeks as the fluids drain. We'll see, I have my doubts. He was going to put a tube in my ear to help with any drainage but he said my ear drum was much too thick, thicker than most. I took that mean more "manly" than most. I have chemo on Monday, and will revisit the the ENT in two weeks for a follow up. By the way I graduated from voice therapy. The therapist said there was nothing more she could for me. The voice is actually pretty good, it quickly tires if I talk too much and towards the end of the day can be pretty rough, but in general it is getting slowly better. Take care. -Eric
