so on march 15/16 I will be visiting the House Ear Clinic to see dr Friedman. I just talked to him on the phone and depending on what he determines from my MRI I will have either a consultation or the actual surgery when I go down to LA. as to my current understanding, I wont know until he gets back to me or possibly even until I do the first consultation with him as to when I will have surgery. Therefore Ill keep an update but its cool if anyone who wanted to visit wont make it cause of the short notice. luffs ya all <3

On the plus side, the dr said due to the area its in, the chance of facial paralysis will be only 1%
