Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 you sound like you are doing great after surgery the medication they use to put you to sleep make some people throw up but it doesn't last long the tastebuds will be back to normal in a few weeks or less most of the time when to take off the bandage is up to the doctor mine said the next day was fine but other doctors like to leave it on a while longer so follow what your doctor says just rest and relax that's what is best for healing do what you feel like but don't push it let other people wait on you .... that'sthe fun part susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I would prefer that you not use that language on this list please. It's unnecessary and uncalled for. Now to help you with your questions. You probably got sick on your meds because of the anesthesia. Very often, if you don't ask for ant-nausea meds, this can happen. It will pass quickly. Everyone is different and not everyone loses their taste buds but I've heard from those who did that it lasted a week to 10 days. Keep yourself busy with things you like to do. The healing goes by very quickly and you will be back to normal faster than you expect. Take the time you have now to be pampered a little. Enjoy life and congratulate yourself for doing something courageous but beneficial as once you are hearing with the implant - life normally has more quality. If you received literature about your implant read up on it. Read hook up stories on here and on the internet. Do what you would do if you were recovering from anything. Do not take the bandages off until the doctor recommends it. If you don't have those orders on your dismissal paperwork, call the doctor's office today and get the instructions before the doctor leaves for the weekend. Congratulations on having your surgery behind you. It gets better from here. Thank you, Alice CI Hear Listowner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
