Can you get that into better focus please?

I would say the first word is an abbreviation of perforation. And the last may be something like Tympani.  But I really cannot say, it is not in focus.

Edit, you beat me Kay,  but I agree that is likely what it says,

What Wiggy and  Kay said - it means  a  perforated eardrum.  I had one once. It's really nasty and takes ages to get your hearing back.

Hello All

Thank you everyone, you are probably right,  new information, I never knew he was deaf. He is my husband’s grandfather.

Two apologiess.

I am sorry I am so far behind replying. Sadly my sister in law has been taken ill and not expected to recover. So genealogy went out the window.

Second apology. I am trying to do this via my smartphone for the first time and had a lot of trouble trying to get to the post and was pressing everything in sight to get in.

I hit the report to the moderator button several times I think. The only report to the moderator I would give is that everyone on Rootschat is wonderful.

Thank you
