5-Year Post Surgery Update

Back in May, I went to Johns Hopkins for a five-year post-surgery follow-up with Dr. C and Dr. T. Dr. C said things were fine with my hearing and to come back whenever Dr. T wanted to see me again. Interestingly enough, though, Dr. T looked at my MRI and said that the area on the MRI that lights up a bit is unchanged over the five years since the surgery, so the assumption is that it is just scar tissue. Then he said that I am essentially cured, so I don't need to come back. I was surprised to hear that, and that freaks me out a little, so I think I will see about getting a check-up in another five years or so just to make sure (unless anything changes in the meantime, in which case I would go back sooner).
