Hi possums, how you doing. Well if I had read your posts I would know - I'll just post this first and then I'll have a nice cup of Mighty Leaf and catch up.
I'll cut to the chase: The ENT specialist thinks I have a tumour. I don't think so myself, I still think my hearing problems are somehow related to the spectacular fall I took, but it's not a great feeling having a specialist think otherwise. Now I know you will all be wanting to say Kit they have to rule it out, that doesn't mean that's what they actually *think*. True. But he made it clear that this was indeed his hypothesis and when I pleaded for an alternative scenario to hold on to, he couldn't or wouldn't give one. So there will of course be a whole procedure thingy now. I would explain better except that would entail googling for the English terminology of everything and I really want to avoid doing that lest I see something I don't want to see. I'm like an ostrich when it comes to medical stuff.
Anyhoo, even though *he* wouldn't, I've given myself something to hold on to, and it's a suspicion I have that he bases his hypothesis partly on the fact that I've fallen four times this winter. He probably thinks that nobody in their right mind could do so unless there was some serious sh1t going on affecting their balance neurologically, while I myself feel absolutely certain that my falls can all be blamed on ice, poor core stability and no clampers on my boots, so there, you stupid doctor.
