In most cases I say live and let live, but I don't believe gay marriages should be legal. It's against my religion. Civil union, sure whatever, but not marriage in the eyes of God. I'm sure this will piss some people off but that's my 2 cents and I'm sticking with it.

Yeah, that happened close to where I live. Personally I feel that if you own the house, you own all of it's contents as well.

Congrats and good luck with your surgery! Please keep us updated. Talk to your doc about your hair, mine didn't take a single hair from my head! :D

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are doing well. Best wishes with activation!

oh and here's another snag. I haven't had the meningitis shot yet, my doc told me to wait 2 weeks after surgery. So I called my other doc for an appointment and they tell me they can't do it, only the health department can. So I call the health department and they said it costs $100 (not...

Driving 4 days post op? Wow! I was so dizzy and sick I could barely get off the couch after 4 days. 12 days post op and the dizziness just finally went away. So yes, everyone's different, it's a good idea to prepare for the worst, so in other words, stock up before surgery. Also great advice...

I figured I'd post this here since it's about surgery. I had surgery 11 days ago. I'm scheduled for activation on Thursday.. The problem is my head is still lumpy. I can't see how the implant is going to stay there, it's like a mountain, haha. It's still a little sore but not painful...

.. or a zip up hoodie works well, that's what i wore

my fiance used to walk behind me and whistle loud and high pitched to imitate my HA feedback, then laugh as I would try to make it stop... he was just messing with me of course, it was funny.

I also have Otosclerosis. I began losing my hearing at 17 and I'm now 39. I had the Stapes operations in both ears in 2004. The operation was successful for about a year until I got a bad case of the flu in 2005, which killed my right ear and my left ear has been deteriorating. I seen my...

Thanx guys, i still feel like crap. i can't hold anything down and i stopped taking the T3, just taking motrin now. I wasn't given anti nausea meds, just the T3 and Antibiotics. My head is killing me,the world is spinning... i definitely feel worse today, ughhhhh.

he gave me tylenol 3, it has coedine but it makes me nauseous and sick. Why is day 3 much worse?

Just an update, the surgery went well but I'm hurting. Also some ringing in that ear and I'm very nauseous. The surgery lasted about 2 1/2 hours and I was home by 3. I did not expect to have this much pain but hopefully it will be better by tomorrow. My doc gave me tylenol 3 and everytime I...

Thanx for the luck everyone, I'm nervous as hell! But I have a lot of faith in my doctor. Pre-op went great and I'm all stocked up and ready to go, I'm scheduled for tomorrow at 9am. And Ealton, good luck to you! 24 days is right around the corner.

I chose Cochlear, it was a little bit smaller and it had more options. I'm scrambling to get my nerve up, they didn't give me much time to get used to the idea! Thank you for the nice words and good wishes!

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile but just wanted to let you guys know that my surgery is on Thursday! My doc had a cancellation so they called yesterday and asked if I could do it Thursday. Such short notice! I'm very nervous, please wish me luck!

So last night my damn dog got a hold of my HA. She really loved the ear mold since it was in little pieces all over the place. Two big puncture teeth marks thru the aid and it's broke! I'm pissed! Thank God it's still under warranty and I still have my cheapy ebay backup. She's usually...

You weren't off topic at all! I'm learning a lot from you guys and I'd rather know the everyday pros and cons of having a CI from a real point of view. This turned out to be a most excellent thread thanks to you guys and I know I'll look back on this often. Thanks for the luck and all the...

Yes, please...:D

I wear make-up. I rarely leave my house without it and I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. I'll never be one of those women that lets herself go. I work out, I eat right most of the time and I try to look the best I can. To me, make-up is art and beauty...
