My Surgery Went Well

It's been 48 hours since my Cochlear Implant surgery and I am feeling fine just a little unsteady walking due to the inner ear thing and surgery. No shower or getting my head wet for a week. The staples will be removed on the 29th and the BIG DAY that they call ACTIVATION will be on the 28th of December. That is where they place the KANSO Sound Processor on the side of my head and throw a switch and see what sounds I hear. Electronic adjustments are made as I report to the Audiologists what I hear and don't hear.This is not a PLUG & PLAY thing, it will require some practice and training on my part tp hear well again. I am looking forward to the noise of the new year. There will be nothing visible in or behind my ear. The only thing visible will be the half dollar size Kanso receiver under my hair on the left side of my head. This highly sensitive receiver picks up music, voice, barking, crickets birds etc. and transmits the sound to my implant.
 

Oh it's good to know everything went well Lon, and you must be so looking forward to being able to hear all those minute sounds again that you've missed for so long...

Lon, been thinking about you and wondering if you had the activation done today and how things went. Please drop by with an update if you're feeling up to it.
