The eardrum may need to be replaced and various tissue grafts may be used to replace it. These include the covering of the muscle from above the ear (fascia) and covering of ear cartilage (perichondruim), or covering from the skull (pericranium).
Doctors and dietitians generally recommend at least three large meals and three small meals in a day. The time interval between each feeding will be generally 2 to 3 three hours. One reason for this is that there will be no hunger pangs, and the food you eat will be in lesser quantity than when you keep a gap of 8 or ten hours between your meals.
In a health column in The Globe and Mail newspaper, dietitian Leslie Beck recommends eating your last large meal of the day no later than two to three hours before you go to bed. If you're up late and it's been four to five hours since your last large meal, eat a small snack leading to bedtime.
