Today was the day: activation! First I had to meet with my surgeon for a post-op exam ("looks fine") and then I had an appointment with my audiologist to activate the second CI. I kind of drew the short straw when it came to appointment times. Most of my audiology visits are in the early afternoon, but for whatever reason I ended up with 8:15 with Dr H and 8:30 with audiology. Because the clinic is on campus at the University, this meant driving into the city during morning rush hour. Rather than face the worst of it, we got up early and left the house at 6:30. There was still some traffic, and it took an hour to get there, but there's a little cafe on the first floor and we went there and had breakfast prior to heading upstairs. The appointment with Dr H was, as noted, really short. She looked at the incision, poked a bit at the implant site, and looked into my ear. She said everything looks good, I thanked her, and then it was off to...
I am excited for you! Eagerly waiting to see how it works for you.
