It's been a week since Fred's surgery. He was a mess for about 4 days. He was dizzy and very weak. And finally, on Sunday, he was able to stay up for more than a few minutes at a time. He went back to work on Monday and has been doing well.
He still has a hard time at night with feeling uncomfortable and shooting pains through his ear.
He goes to his dr. next Tuesday for his first follow up. I will be able to breath a little easier once the dr checks him out.
Here are some pictures of his ear. It's a crazy looking thing. I told Fred this makes him officially cool. (not that he wasn't cool to start with)

This is a 'plug' that will stay in his ear for 8 weeks....
