Hi Shari

Glad it all went ok, I must say I wasnt expecting to feel as giddy and washed

out as I am two days later, the whole wound area feels really tight and

uncomfortable at the moment and i have a horrible metalic taste sensation on the

implant side of my tongue, and feel quiet unbalanced and a bit dizzy when i

first stand up, will just have to have plenty of rest and take it a day at a

time, and like you am finding it hard to sleep for any length of time.

Hi Neil,

 

I was thinking of you yesterday as we both had surgery on the same day.

 

I'm glad you are doing okay. Lucky you to get the headband off. I have to wait

48 hours. Will be glad to get it off tomorrow afternoon. I know from my first CI

surgery, that was the biggest " pain relief " .

 

My throat is sore from the tube they put down my throat and I have no nausea

this time around except for when I was first awake after the surgery. I am not

dizzy, but I feel weak and can't sleep for more than a few hours at a time. I'll

be glad when I can eat a decent meal, though. Right now it's popsicles, ice

cream, and hopefully I will be getting pudding soon. My jaw is sore on the

surgery side and I can't open my mouth too wide.

 

I've made a blog entry on my surgery. (

Okay, going back to rest. Take care.
