Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Sam, I also want to join Alice in congratulating you on your surgery date!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi Alice, No, I wasn't given an activation date. Only a timeframe of four weeks after surgery. My post-op is scheduled for October 18th. Regards, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi , Many thanks! Have you gotten your surgery date yet? I understand what you mean by having to change your mind and losing sleep over it. I went through the same thing the past few days. In my case, since I had a surgery date I either had to go through with it and implant the Nucleus or wait until the issue with the Clarion is resolved. I didn't want to wait any longer.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi Sam, <sigh> I feel like I'm standing between two of my best friends (the 90K vs. the recall) and being asked to choose between them. Unfortunately, aside from the other issues I've already mentioned, I can't take more time off from school. I'm sure my VR counselor would understand the position I'm in but I only have one more semester before graduation and they *are* paying for captionists and interpreters. I don't have a surgery date yet *but* I see my audi tomorrow to look at each of the different implant devices. I'm hoping that she'll have some good news to share with me!!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi , It will probably be better for you to wait until you finish school. Like you said, you only have one semester left until graduation. You don't need any more stress at this time. Just try to relax and enjoy this last semester before you worry about the CI. If you still want the Clarion, they should have the issue resolved by then. Regards, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi Sam, I appreciate your concern -- thanks! Given all of the time and emotion I've invested so far, I'm going to see this through. If I don't do it now, I probably never will. With all of the wonderful sounds, experiences and experiences a CI has the potential to bring me, I don't want to risk the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi , Certainly I understand. Just throwing in my two cents worth. How's the weather in Wisconsin? My partner and I have a goal to visit all 50 states. We've been to every state west of the Mississippi while we lived in San Francisco and now that we live in Atlanta, we're focusing on the east. We were planning to take a trip up to Wisconsin this fall but had to cancel that due to my surgery. Think it will be too cold in November?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi Sam, The weather here in Wisconsin is just gorgeous! The leaves have already started to turn colors and the air is crisp. Daytime temperatures are in the low 60's with mostly sunny skies (we've enjoyed this kind of weather throughout September). Evening temperatures are getting on the nippy side -- upper 30's to low 40's. Brrr. Autumn is here and winter is not too far behind. Wisconsin is beautiful year-round but the outdoor views during autumn are especially breathtaking. The next time you're headed this way, let me know and I can recommend some great places for you to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
