Dawne's CI Journey: Surgery
http://sunryze1.blogspot.com/2008/10/surgery.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Sorry it took me so long to post this. The first couple of days after surgery I was in pain and couldn't move off the couch! I had surgery at about 9:30 am on Thursday, October 16. Dr. Weber said everything went according to plan and was successful. Surgery lasted about 2-2 1/2 hours. I felt pretty good after I woke up and went home within an hour. However later that evening I started feeling it, lol. It really wasn't that bad! Tomorrow you get activated! I'm excited for you!

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. 2nd Implant and Recovery. Today I had to use the phone to talk one of the nurse from the insurance company and I explained to her that I am using the Captel to be able to understand her. The conversation last about 5 minutes and I got most of the words so it getting there. My right ear is not accustomed to the phone, it was my left ear. My first activation will be on March 18, 2010, the day after my daughter's birthday. I am glad that I got this second implant.

My Cochlear Implant Journey. A blog entailing a deaf user going through the Cochlear Implant Journey. It's now two years since I have been implanted. Can't believe that it's been this long, it was only a while ago that I remember going to the hospital for the operation and coming round from it quite groggy from the anaesthetic. External processors are changing in this fast moving technological times all the time whereas the internal implant stays the same. My Cochlear Implant Journey. A deaf dude's life.

My Cochlear Implant Journey: March 2013
http://fumasivil.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
My Cochlear Implant Journey. A blog entailing a deaf user going through the Cochlear Implant Journey. It's now March and it'll be 4 years since I had my CI implant in May. When I returned from America in September last year, I only returned to Gray's inn road three times that year, and two of them were to pick up spare parts, and one for a remap. I am finding that in quiet situations I am able to have a simple conversation without lipreading or light concentration levels. My Cochlear Implant Journey.

Dawne's CI Journey: November 2008
http://sunryze1.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2008. I had my first real map today since being activated last week and I'm just amazed with this thing! At first I was slightly disappointed. It sounded very high pitched, metallic and garbled, but after 2 or 3 days I started understanding some words coming thru and that was so cool! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
