Not a fun way to spend a Friday

Seth checks in for an outpatient surgery tomorrow at the Ear Nose and Throat doctor. He's had pain and hearing loss in his left ear for a couple years now, and got it checked out the last time he had a flare up. The doctor diagnosed him with a clusteotoma (sp?)- which as far as I could understand, is a growth that's been building for some time. The doctor said that the growth could have started years ago and if left alone, could cause quite a few problems. So tomorrow, the docs will go in and remove the growth and bring his ear (and hopefully his hearing) back to normal. Not a fun thing to do on a Friday especially! Poor guy! We'll keep you posted on how it goes.
