Can anyone tell the difference between two weeks and a month to activate?

Hey Sunryze, how did you start thinking about it, how did you feel right before the surgery and the after surgery? How's the whole support for you? I am open to hear your experiences. I am excited for you, Sunryze.

I'd like to hear from others responding to Sunryze's post whether it is normal? I am so curious!!!! (hee hee)
Activation dates vary from one CI audi to another. Some CI audis activate days following surgery (I know of one CI user who was activated 24 hours after her surgery) while others require a wait of 4 weeks in order to allow the scar to fully heal.
