I need some advice. I plan on having CI surgery for my right ear the first of the year. I do not have any hair in my left ear so no real options there.
I'm self employed. I own a self storage, a large office building, and a large bakery with coffee shop. The self storage and office building more or less run them self. The problem comes in at the bakery. I run the back of the house.
I have been working with the front of the house manager and will be taking over more responsibilities. I'm also working with my head baker and turning him more into a manager.
My passion in life is baking. I would go crazy if I was not able to work in the bakery for more than a week. My doc tells me I will most likely need an interpreter for 4 to 8 weeks. I have also been told it could be 2 months before I'm able to hear on the same level as with the hearing aid. The people that I work with must know I'm hard of hearing and I'm sure most of them have seen my hearing aid at some point.
The closest family is about an hour away and they have offered to let me stay with them for a week or so. My mom asked me if I wanted to take off to the beach or something a few days after surgery for a vacation.
Last year I had my tonsil and adenoids out. My mom stayed with me for the first few days. I was at work every few days checking on everything and doing paperwork. It took 16 days before I could talk more than a few words at a time and it about killed me.
I can afford to hire an interpreter for a few days a week and will have on at least once a week for my weekly day in the office.
If you were in my situation what would would you do?
