Should I be putting anything on it? The gauge fell off today shortly after the head wrap came off so it's just the stitches. It's VERY clean looking. They told me to clean around it with peroxide and a cotton swab. They didn't say anything about ointment. It's not hurting. It just feels...

Doctor told me to go ahead and take the wrap off. I took it off and feel MUCH better. There is still a piece of gauge over the tape. He said to just leave that there for them next week. I do notice my ear is sticking out some. I think it will recede.

6'-2" 250 lbs here but not ripped like in the pics. Just big and muscular. I eat too much to get ripped. I have lifted weights off and on since I was 13. I stopped lifting and just jogged a few years back. Slimmed down to 181 and everyone told me I looked horrible. I guess it depends on the...

Sorry I can't answer the poll yet... I can't wait to experience music with this. With HA I kind of stuck to stuff I was familar with. I like Heavy Metal and I do worry it will sound bad to me now that I have the CI. I am hoping I get to experience all kinds of music.

Doc told me to leave it on until today and take it off this evening. I can't wait. It's driving me nuts and it's crimping the wound somewhere causing it to hurt.

Good to see your progressing so well. It gives me hope.

I can NOT wait until tomorrow night to get this bandage off. It's wrapped so tight the pain is agonizing. Lortabs aren't helping at all.

Congrats on the progress. :)

Few pics from today. My friends are joking that I got the optional GI Joe Kung Fu grip installed in my hand. That's my cell phone. lol I have BIG hands.:lol:

Surgery went without a hitch. I am in some pain right now and hoping the pain pills kick in. Feel pretty nauseus too. I am going to lay down. Thanks for the well wishes.

My coworker and two friends all have the Nucleus and they have zero problems.

I have United Health Care and I am getting the most up to date Nucleus model.

I had my pre op the other day. He said he is only going to take a very small strip of hair out. If so, I am thinking of growing my hair long for a change. I don't know why but I am still a little self conscious of the magnet. I find that weird since this will not stand out as much as too behind...

Yeah it would be a full helmet. I am not sure if they require full facial but I will be buying one like that. I borrowed my brother's the last time I raced. Can't wait to be able to hear better and enjoy the improved comfort of the CI. :)

I recently picked up a PS3 so I'll probably be playing it a lot to stay busy. lol Does anyone know if the implant will work under a helmet? I drag race during the summer in my car at the local tracks. I am running in the 12s so I am required to where a helmet. I'll also be doing some four...

Thanks for the well wishes. 5 more days

I think I have been a member almost 3 years lol. First post. I've been reading the boards soaking up info. I liked the Pre/post CI surgery post. Good info. I have two friends that have CI implants. After watching their lives improve, I thought I would get it done. I went to get new hearing...
