hi there,
im nichola. im from ireland.im 29 yrs old and i had my surgery two weeks ago and i got switched on yesterday. are u in the states? i had to stay in hospital for 7 nights as that is the way the way they do it in ireland.
do u use aids in both ears? im doing quite well and progress is fast compared to yesterday.
i was quite sick from anest or morphine but defo do ask them for ask many tablets and anti sickness tablets as u can . the pain is totally managable. the bandage will come off after 24 hrs or so and this is a relief when it comes off.
i lost my balance for a week or so and had dizzy spells but this will pass.
try drink lots of fluids.
i was so nervous before surgery so it might be wise to ask for a relaxant.
best of luck.
nichola
