Well I have the new surgery date, Tuesday March 23rd at Noon (maybe earlier in the day).

I'm glad to hear you have a new date, but it's too bad it's so far away and you had to reschedule all your other plans! But I guess the Polly in me would have to say "It's good that it wasn't YOU that was having the emergency surgery that day!" )We'll be sending vibes for "no more delays" between now and the 23rd!!!Deb

Larry,

 

Congratulations and you are in the process of a new beginning. Just remember,

" High hopes and low expectations " . Very important and you will see how great it

is to hear music, nature sounds, words from different accents, things you DON'T

want to hear.

 

Welcome.

Just got my scheduled surgery date this afternoon. July 28th. Much

sooner than I expected since they told me 4 months for the approval

process. It's only been 2 weeks so in my mind, I was preparing for a

Fall surgery.

Now I'm just looking forward to getting past the surgery/recovery part

and waiting for my 'CI Moment'. Without trying to get my hopes up too

much too soon, I'm looking forward to maybe hearing some of the birds

and peepers again. We shall see.

Soon I'll be able to put something down below like everyone else.

Something like...

Congratulation Larry.

Luckily you having it in your own city otherwise you would be going nutty trying

to get airline, place to stay, etc. in another State or Province.

I was told it might be one year, so I decided to do some projects, then get an

email saying it will be in four months. Talk about running around, booking at

the hospital Residence, booking airline there and back, planning for 10 days

stay, making sure my Intevenor was available. Thanks heaven these wonderful

people here help me out. I sure hate to see what happen if I only had two weeks

noticed. I think I would have been one nutty as a fruit cake dolphin.

Larry,

Birds can make you nuts if you listen to them long enough. Don't they

EVER shut up?? On the other hand, you won't have A CI moment, you will

have a life time full of them. I've been implanted 12 years and still

have CI moments when I hear something for the first time, recognize it

and go " Wow, a CI moment " .

The other night I was babysitting 2 kids who decided to be as rotten

as possible. After hitting me, they each got to go to their bedrooms,

and stay in their beds. So they kicked the headboards nons stop and

screamed at the top of their lungs. I turned my processor down as low as

it would go, and when that wasn't low enough, I turned it off. I sat in

the hallway between the rooms where I could watch both of them and NOT

have to listen to them. There are decided advantages to having hearing

you can turns OFF as well as ON.

Good luck,

Now that I seem to be certain about giving up my little bit of residual for

It is TOMORROW! This time tomorrow, I should be bilateral!

Maggie,

Maybe some of us will be flies on the wall at your activation. Just

teasing. Not that I have never found myself doing the same thing when

trying to do something out of the ordinary but often found that just simply

doing it was the most reasonable option.

Well 2 weeks and you will be one more step closer to realizing hearing

again.

That cruise sounds fantastic too.

Wishing you all the best, Maggie! Jackie )

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your comments, . But I may have jumped the gun on scheduling.

It seems I'm required to have a physical (complete with EKG and a pregnancy

test?) within 30 days of surgery and my local walk-in clinic doesn't provide all

the tests they require. I've been under general anesthesia 3 times in my life

with no problems. Seems like an excessive requirement for surgery. If I can't

get it all taken care of in time, looks like I'll have to postpone surgery. I'd

hate to have to do that.

Having a pre-op physical is standard for pretty much any surgery. Although

I'm surprised they threw in a pregnancy test, too, it's just one more blood

test among the others required. My clinic required my pre-op physical to

occur within a week of surgery to ensure that the labs and EKG were current,

however, so you're lucky to have a month to provide yours.

I didnt have to do a pregnancy test :-)

Its discrimination.

I'm hoping they won't ask ME if I'm pregnant, or insist upon a pregnancy

test. Too funny.

While at a doctor's office I was reading about a vaccine that will help

you avoid shingles. Anyone who had chicken pox as a child has the virus

in their body, and if you get infected again, often it appears as

shingles (and not the kind on your house). It's a very painful disease,

that often causes a lot of neurological pain, and scarring, and many

times doesn't go away. So they were encouraging anyone over 60 to get

this shot. However, they said, " If you are pregnant, or planning to

become pregnant....don't get the shot " I'm thinking, " who in their right

mind would want to get pregnant over age 60 anyway? " Maybe that woman

who is shooting out a kid a year - getting ready for number 19, and her

oldest is 21will still be doing the wild thing at 60, but most sane women

won't.

Ted, in order to qualify for a pregnancy test, you also have to have a

mammogram. Can't just call discrimination unless you undergo what women

do yearly. Makes me wish I was less well endowed.

I didnt have to do a pregnancy test :-)

Its discrimination.

It looks like my surgery date, for bilateral implantation with the new

Freedom 5 will be Monday, the 14th. Busiest weekend of my life. Have a

craft show on Saturday and Cleveland Browns opening day game on Sunday.

But wanted to schedule between games, so I have a couple weeks to

recover. They phoned today to ask what color processor I wanted.

Choices are black, charcoal grey, white, and sand. What kind of choices

are those? Where is purple? Where is silver? Then you could get a side

panel with soccer balls. How about FOOTBALLS. Oh, they don't play that

in Oz. Sigh. However, the standard package is 2 processors, and you get

a choice of 2 of the Freedom 5s or one Freedom 5 and one regular Freedom.

I'm going for broke and getting the 2 new ones. The rechargeable

battery option hasn't been FDA approved yet, but I've always used

disposable batteries.

They no longer shave half your head, which is good since I just had

highlights put in last week. You can wash your hair the next day, just

put antibiotic cream on before and after. Driving the next day is OK.

Way different from when I got the N24 13 years ago. I will be staying

overnight (23 hours) since the Dr. doesn't want me coming home alone.

Have a ride to the surgery center, now have to see who is willing to

drive across town to pick me up the next day.

So wish me luck, and I'll let people know how it goes.
