Ear question
When i was 2 years old i put a toy in my ear and ran with it. I tripped and fell on the toy. The toy went through my ear and out my cheek causing my eardrum to be destroyed. I was rushed to the hospital where they rebuilt my eardrum with fat tissue from my arm. I was told from this surgery I would be unable to fly or lift weights over my head. I've been lifting weights a little bit since I was 15 and nothing occurred as of yet. I have a trip to take at the end of May and was wondering if it be okay to catch an airplane or will the pressure of the plane cause my rebuilt eardrum to burst again?
