This is interesting.  It will be exciting if I'm a candidate for this.

Hi,

I was just reading this article. Thanks for sharing. This is quite interesting. A surgery where they go in through the nose without cutting the back of your ear. Amazing! I wonder how much this type of surgery costs and how many they have done. Are you investigating the possibility of having this type of surgery?

Hi Vivian,

I hope Dr. McKenna thinks it is an option for me.  Look for an update from me Monday night after I see him.  I harrassed UMASS to the point where they finally faxed over my records.  I'm set for Monday.

I'd love to hear what McKenna has to say about it and what kind of surgeries it works well for.
