UPDATED: Got to go under the knife.....again

[tigersharkdude]

So just found out today that I have to go under the knife......again. I have to have surgery to remove a tumor from my left audio nerve, upon this I am going to completely lose my hearing, FTL FML on the bright side I will be receiving an ABI implant, which is an implant that long story short "fixes" your hearing. The success rate is like 80% for being able to hear again. Wish me look, and pray for me that everything turns out well

UPDATE

The surgery will be on November 8th

Good luck. Hopefully after the operation you won't need these....

STYLIN!



Hope you retain your hearing. There's another Kesha album coming soon.

Sorry, just trying to cheer you up.

[Otto.]

Wow. I hope you do well.

I'll be praying for you.

[Dattebayo]

You mean just your left side hearing, right?

Well currently I can't hear music well, so I havent listened to any new music in like a year

and thanks for the kind words everyone. Im not remotely worried about the outcome of the surgery, Ive been through a few already and know that with faith and strength I will get through it. Im really just worried about my hearing.

Dude, I wish you the best if luck. The ability to hear is one of those things people take for granted, up until they lose it (or damage it).

This....I dont wish being deaf on anybody. I experience almost total deafness on occasion from the tumor pressing on the nerve. It sucks ***

Loosing any of your senses sucks, but blindness and deafness top the charts IMHO

[skydragoness]

I wish you the best, 80% is pretty good. You'll be fine; we'll be thinking about you.

[krimsonviper]

Good luck man. I hope and pray you have the best outcome.

[tigersharkdude]

thanks peeps.

[Razi]

Surgery sucks.
Good luck man!

[krash]

Good luck man! I'll be prayin'

[Solar_Runner]

I wish you the very best.

[dasoupdude]

we'll always be here to provide eye candy

[krimsonviper]

^ You don't need hearing to appreciate that.

Come to think of it, being deaf might have it's advantages during certain "periods" of the month...

[tigersharkdude]

send her my way, I think I may feel better

[Loki]

Best of luck bro. get well soon!!!!

[gmac708]

That sucks.
Hope you retain some hearing after the implant.
Thoughts and prayers are with you.

[krimsonviper]

I have a question. Is the implant only going in one ear? Or both?

[tigersharkdude]

@krimson. At this point my doctor hasnt said. Im kind of hoping for both though

[krimsonviper]

I am too.

[krash]

@krimson. At this point my doctor hasnt said. Im kind of hoping for both though

that would be awesome!

[Dittoz7]

Ouch good luck mate.

[frapjap]

Best of luck to you for the procedure. One positive to not being able to hear- you dont have to hear that crap about how you never call your mother to talk!

[Mr1der]

mmm eyecandy

good luck bro!

[sx moneypit]

Good luck and God bless my man!
