Guest guest Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Hi , Thanks for the info. Auckland, eh? Middle Earth. What is upper and lower earth? Tried to read Lord of the Rings, but got lost somewhere in outer space. " I wanted to be an astronaut, but ended up being a space cadet " One of my favorite bumper stickers from the 70s. Why such a long wait to get an implant? That many people queing up ahead of you, or was your hearing not bad enough. Good time for an implant. Any time is a good time to start hearing again.

Doubt if you will have heard of the surgeon, as I am from New Zealand (Middle earth - LOTR movies, etc) however his name is Bill Baber. Have been on a waiting list of sorts for this for about 6 - 8 years. Been deaf since about 9 years of age, now in my early 50s. Been wanting this thing (CI) madly ever since I first read of it, now its actually going to happen the doubts are starting to creep up. (be careful of what you might wish for...) Surgery date is November 16th, at Auckland hospital. ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker!
