Was your ear conjested after surgery?

Thu, 03/05/2009 - 15:45
I had a right temporal lobectomy about 2 week ago.  Since then I have had a "buzz" in my left ear and now it seems almost like the ear is conjested.  What is odd is that it is the ear that is opposite my surgery.  At first I thought that it was maybe because I was sleeping on that side to avoid sleeping on my incision.  It has not gone away now though.  Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Yeah my ear was plugged to, almost like I had an ear plug in it and I couldn't even hear out of it if I put a telephone up to it.  They told me that it was normal and that it would go away as the fluid would empty out of it and go back into my head.  It took a little while, so I gave it a chance and now it's gone and I can hear again!
