Well I have 10 days to go until my bilateral surgery. I am definitely counting down the days. This next week is going to be a crazy, hectic, and EXCITING week. I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to go bilateral with implants. I have had the first implant for about 3 1/2 months now and I love it. I do not regret the decision of getting an implant at all. Matter of fact I am thrilled with that decision.
Anyways....I am spending this weekend getting ahead on some of my graduate work since I will be missing class the week of my surgery.
10 MORE DAYS!!!

Two Weeks to GO!!!
Well I am down to two weeks until surgery and the days cannot go by fast enough. I liked the first time better, because I only had to wait four days between my evaluation and surgery. This time is killing my because I am so excited and all I can think about is my surgery.
Anyways....I am getting things in place for my students as I will be out of work for at least a week, maybe longer, depending on how I am feeling. I am trying to get lesson plans and all of that ready.
16 days and counting....this is so exciting.

CI Number 2 Pre-op and First CI 3 Month results
Well yesterday was exciting in more ways than not. I had a visit to UNC for my three month mapping and testing as well as my pre-op for my second implant. I will start with my first implant testing results.
The audiologists are going to have to try and find a new test for me as I have done extremely well. They mentioned this new test they want me to try the next time I am in the office. It uses real human voices and is more real-life than the current HINT and CNC tests that are used.
My scores at 3 months post activation:
HINT in Quiet-100%
HINT in Noise-97%
CNC-78%
Otherwise I had my pre-op and all is well. Apparently my surgeon thought my surgery was today instead of a couple more weeks. I say this because he initialed the side of my head, this is required at UNC or they will not take you into the OR. He also gave me a great big hug. Anyways, I still have four weeks until surgery....APRIL 7th. That day can not get here fast enough!!
Until next time....
