ignorance is bliss ain't it!
My reply to anyone that tries to diminish AN's to "just an ear thing"......"then why'd they crack my cranium to get it out"?
1st AN surgery @ age 23, 16 hours
Loss of 7-10th nerves
mulitple "plastic" repairs to compensate for effects of 7th nerve loss
tumor regrowth, monitored for a few years then surgically removed @ age 38 (of my choice, not medically necessary yet)
