Oh my goodness Marika - thank God you went back
That sure sounds very painful. I hope they give you the go ahead to fly. The last thing you want is a perforated ear drum though:sad:
Apparently all trapped gas expands by about 30% at normal aircraft cabin cruising altitude so if you have a lot of swelling there already, then a flight will increase this. Have a good chat with that doctor on Tuesday and I guess you will have to make a judgement call at the last minute.
If they recommend you dont fly, make sure you get a proper note/cert from them. Hope you have cancellation insurance? Of course the flight is usually the least of the worries - its all the other things that you have probably lined up to coordinate your visit :hugbetter:
Many hugs Marika. I loved your comparison between your doc and the local butcher :wink2:
Luv n stuff
