Wow today was productive! Met the surgeon! He is very nice and confirmed I can have a CI in my right ear
The Dr's Resident suctioned a bunch of blood out of my ears that was there from my eardrum surgery 4 weeks ago. Really gross because I got to watch the whole thing on camera lol! Looked at my CT and MRI and said they look great! Met with the pre-OP nurse who explained everything, gave me my surgery packet and instructions, and sent us for tests. Had a chest x-ray because I have asthma, they wanted to make sure my lungs were clear for surgery. Then had a blood draw and urine. ALL DONE!! We don't have to go back which is a HUGE plus since we live 3 hours away! Have to get 2 vaccines at my primary Dr at home. Then it's just waiting for insurance approval and then a surgery date
He waits 6 weeks for activation. Bummer there but oh well!
