Tomorrow I am having an ear surgery to have my Mastoid Cholesteatoma removed( it's a skin cyst in the middle ear which becomes affected and erodes bone. It usually forms from chronic negavtive middle ear pressure which sucks the eardrum into the middle ear froming a retraction pocket.), and reconstruction to my eardrum area. I'm only 16 and don't know exactly what to expect afterwards. How long is the recovery? And what are the best things to do afterwards? And also, what should I expect? Anyone know or have been through this?

I just had the cholesteatoma operation. It took about 2 hours and an hour in the recovery room. It is a little painful afterwards but not too bad. You will get pain pills. There's a little blood and oozing for a few days but just be happy it's out.
