I'm glad the HBO worked for you. I am hearing more good about it anymore. It's too bad the insurance won't pay for it. Like a lot of other things though, not just yet.

I couldn't do the HBO due to ear problems either. I had an ear drum put in when I was 19 and it didn't heal right so I know I am not a good candidate for it.

My Grandson had tubes when he was a baby and they didn't do any surgery for them.

Good luck on whatever you do. It sounds like it will be worth it if it will let you do the HBO.
