Welcome. WV here too.

He said mine is normal. Of course I never get to talk to my doctor in person. His staff got back to me after talking to him. Hope everything is ok for you etalton.

Currently I am having my girlfriend call my doctor for fluid. Different reason though. Mine feels like swimmers ear. When I am eating, I can feel fluid in my ear. If I bend over I can feel it moving around. Just want to make sure this is normal.

Congrats! Going to be a lot of activations on here in December. I am getting impatient.

I have a bump where the magnet is. Not mushy though. Just a hard bump. I guess it's normal.

Awesome news!

Thanks again for the well wishes. SouthFella, That make sense about the swelling. I am bored so I would be happy to explain my job. I work for Alcon Research. We make the intraocular IOL Acrysof surgicial implants to correct vision disorders. Mostly cataract disorders. My part of the...

Went great. The stitches were removed and everything looks good. I told him about all the small issues I have been having and he says everything is normal. He was impressed that I had zero dizziness. Just a little bit the day after surgery but it's all gone now.

Yeah I noticed. Doesn't seem fair. I know the suspense in waiting is a killer. That's how I feel now. I know you might not want to hear this but all I have to do to stay off work until January 5th is tell the doctor I am not ready to go back to work yet and I get a extension with my short term...

Activation date: 12/11 :)

That's good to know. I was a little worried about it. I keep having these fears that at activation the implant will not work etc. I worry way more than I should.

I grew my hair out long in preparation for the surgery. I thought I could just comb it over the shaved part. Instead I ended up looking like Joe Dirt. lol They put me on short term disability until December 15th. I hope your workday goes well. What type of work is it? I don't think I could...

Post op tomorrow. Not really having any major issues other than around bedtime when I am trying to sleep I have extreme pressure around my ear and neck. Feels like somethings going to explode. I lost some sense of taste too.

They have not said yet. I guess I'll find out at the post op this Wednesday.

Cool, I was slightly worried I hurt something. I took the trash out last night and didn't realize I was carrying the usual heavy bags. I also mopped the floor. My girlfriend keeps telling me to take it easy but I at least want to move around a little. I am going nuts just sitting.

Looks good. :)

Quick question. Is it normal to have a big fullness (feels like I have a huge hearing aid mold in my ear) in my ear and slight soreness on my neck? Feels slightly swollen under my chin. The incision area stings a little bit. Feels like it's pulling if I turn my neck. Just trying to...

Cool, I go back Wednesday for the post op. I don't know if my stitches are the dissolving type. I think he said that they would be taking them out.

Yeah I am so glad I found this site. I showed it to my friend Keith shortly after he had his implant last year and he learned a lot from reading the threads on here. :)
