Myringotomy surgery

Donation protected
Hi my name is Sarah I have dwarfism and since a child I have suffered with serve ear infections starting at 6 months old I had to have several surgeries as a child and an adult to correct it but unfortunately the tubes in my right ear never closed or healed properly which caused me to get an infection causing an ear infection that just kept coming back I  struggle everyday I will be having myringotomy surgery myringotomy creates a small incision in the eardrum to allow fluid to drain and relieve pain in the ear
Ear infections are a common problem for people with dwarfism, or skeletal dysplasia, during childhood and infancy. This is due to the characteristic features of the skull, spine, and limbs associated with dwarfism, which can lead to narrowed Eustachian tubes and nasal passages. The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the upper throat, and in people with dwarfism, the anatomy of these tubes can make it difficult for fluid to drain from the middle ear. This fluid buildup can create an environment for bacteria and viruses to grow, which can lead to ear infections
 I come here asking for help to be able to get this surgery I have been in severe pain for over two months there is alot of pressure on my ear drum and causing me to feel very off balanced when I walk thank you to everyone that donates anything helps out so much thank you to all
