OK I have been bad about keeping this freaking blog going... but I have some news and advice to others that are seeking the life of bionics. Persistence is the big key in getting your surgery date fast! Others may have a harder time than I have had. Not only am I going to get an Cochlear Implant on my left ear, I am also having a fistula repair in my right ear. Perilymph fistula is a tear in the round or oval window leads to loss of perilymph into the middle ear. In my case it is leaking spinal fluid into my middle ear causing me to have terrible tinnitus and vertigo with nausea.
My surgery date is going to be 12/08/2009, at 4pm. which basically means that I am not gonna have breakfast or lunch or anything to drink for the whole entire day !!! grrrr but sacrifices are worth it.
I have to stay in the hospital overnight and should be able to go home the next day :)
I will probably be activated around the first week of January, or second.
I am overwhelmed I am just nervous that it is not gonna work! thats all!
I know that it is going to sound totally different so im preparing myself for that!
