R2D2: Excellent idea to do this thread!! It was beginning to get hard to keep up with everyone! When one has surgery, I'm like...Who's next? :giggle: CI Surgery - February 15th Possible Switch on - February 26th

Hear Again: Now that you mentioned it, it could be hard for me to fall asleep to music with my CI on when I get it. I have listened to music for many years myself and it soothes my soul! LOL As a matter of fact, I have music playing now. I do see that I literally wait for my songs to come...

DevBaby: 5 more days!! Very SOON!! I bet as the date nears, the waiting period seems to take forever? Good luck!! :)

johnjoe1011: Congratulations you are approved and scheduled for surgery! I know you got to be excited about it! Good luck!! :)

Wow....that's wonderful!! She looks GREAT in the picture!! :)

Interesting! Right now, there are some nights I sleep with my hearing aid on because I have trouble going to sleep sometimes. I used to be a night owl....not by choice though! :giggle: I am going to have to try that out by going to sleep with my CI on when it comes to that. Who knows...

WBHarley: OK...uhm, 18 days??? When I read your message, I just had to look at the calendar and count the days. In 18 days from the day you posted this message, that's Feb. 5, and my surgery date is on the 15th!! :giggle: From today, there is 28 more days until my CI surgery (Feb. 15)...

Hear Again: Oh My!! :giggle: I can relate to that, only I wouldn't be groggy but I'd be half asleep!! My hearing aid(s)....(used to be two, now it is just one) is the very first thing I put on when I wake up too. Sometimes when I am just so preoccupied, it is easy to forget to take it...

Wonderful!! I am glad Lilly did fine. When I read this, I got goosebumps ALL over! :D

Wow....all of these are very interesting stories! So far, I haven't had any accidents with my hearing aids. But, I almost did one night a few years ago when I got in the shower with my hearing aids on!! I got in the shower, just about to step right under the showerhead....when all at once, I...

Lillys dad: I didn't know much about BAHAs either. It was explained to me at the party and I did some reading about it when I got home. :) Lucia and Hear Again: Thanks for the info! :) greema: LOL...So you noticed it's a month away! lol :)

I had an exciting and interesting day today! I went to the New Ears Party (it was highly recommended by my Audi on the CI team that I attend). It was my first time going there and I didn't know what to expect. When I arrived, everyone was communicating with each other. I conversed with a...

Hear Again: LOL...Sometimes I leave out words when I write (thinking too fast) and will have to go back to add a word or two in! :)

DevBaby: You're welcome! I have to get the shot and have labwork done too! :) When is your surgery?

SteveAUD: Interesting! Thank you! :)

DevBaby: Pre-op is short for pre-operative, it is an appointment usually a week before surgery with the doctor for labwork, some places would want chest x-rays, and some places would want a EKG. It all depends on the type of surgery one is having. For an example, a doctor is not going to...
