Thanks to all for the good wishes! I can't wait for this surgery to be done, not only to provide relief from my ear and head aches but also I feel like I have a bunch of time bombs in my jaw and neck just waiting to explode. A couple are quite palpable and appear to be getting bigger and harder by the day. My biggest fear at the moment is that one might burst. Logically I'm sure that won't happen before Wednesday - I'm just glad I don't have to wait longer than that. I'll post again when I get home.
