Congrats on coming through your surgery with flying colors! Day three was the "horrid" day for me. I had no issues with appetite, I wasn't exactly a calorie counter after my surgery :) The entire incision should feel numb due to the incision, not the meds. There is part of my ear that still...

Funny that this showed up because I saw this about a week ago. I respect him and his mom for being that honest with themselves. It is a HUGE decision to make.

I just popped in this topic and I am a little behind: Is this the Sheri that is the advocate for the Let Them hear Foundation? I have Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and I had no problem with getting approved. I am curious when I start the proceeding to get the other ear...

I would like to see a copy of this article as well, would you mind emailing a copy of it to bionicwoman2007@gmail.com Thank you!

Right!

I'm wondering if we have any MEI implantees floating around here. There is a couple companies, such as Envoy and Otologics that are beginning phase II of the FDA trials. There is at least 100 people in the US that have been implanted and I'm curious how it works for them.

After using captions for over 25 years I can't give them up. However I don't throw a hissy fit like I use to when something I want watch does not have close captioning. Right now I am watching the movie Elf after buying it 3 years ago and never watching it, I figured I should watch it before...
