<font color="purple">My mom had brain surgery once.
In order to remove the tumor, te surgeon told her that she would have to lose hearing in one of her ears (unfortunately for us, it was on the one side everone lkes to talk to her on) only later on did we realise he was a quack and she probably could have had it removed without the hearing loss. Oh well.

A few of my realatives have that kind of pain because of an exposd nerve, for my grandma, it's described as having appendicitis 24/7 </font>
