Thanks Kym. The ENT wants to give it 6 weeks to see if it will heal. If it doesn't then I'll need surgery. Blech. About 1/4 of it is gone...so I didn't get the sense that he was very confident it would heal on it's own. But we'll see. I got back to him the day before I leave for Memphis. HA. Gotta buy some ear plugs for the show. I am getting old!
