All the doctors are increadably impressed with how well I am doing considering the fact I was activated a week ago.

I bounced back quickly too, but from experience you have to continue listening therapy. You must exercise the implant daily, either with music or books on tape. Daily activities around the day are not enough. It allows the implant to remain sharp.
I use music as my auditory therapy. I ipod daily for atleast an hour. I use the same songs over and over again. It helps to pick up more sound.
I am also so happy for you. Enjoy
