No more bandage, no more tape

Ive had a couple of miserable days. The medication I was taking was making me spacey and was giving me nightmarish sleep. My neck was stiff. My body was worn out. This morning I went to the doctor for my post-surgery follow-up. He removed the surgical tape with ease and told me it looked great. I was not able to find the implanted device and he located it for me. My head is still swollen and he said I would be able to feel it once I was healed. Then it was on to the Audiologist. He showed me on the computer that my array is 100% perfect. Activation date is Monday, January 16th, 2006 at 9 in the morning.

As I write, I am feeling much better. I hope the misery days are behind me. I'm thrilled with the looks of the incision. I am surprised how quickly it has healed. Quite amazing, it has been 4 days since I was in the operating room. All we can see are the two ends of the incision.

Aunty Joyce here. At Deb and Rick's. I wonder if you're on your way to Oregon today? If so, you must be feeling pretty good and be ready for a happy time with all of the family. Hope the days just keep getting better and better and we'll look forward to the updates. By the way, your new hairdo looks great!
