Surgery day

Well, its over. I have the pain under control and I've spent the day napping on the couch.
Everything went fine. Ill be able to take off the pressure bandage tomorrow and
 see the scar and if the shaved any hair. I was told they might to a finger width behind the ear.

Activation is Feb 19th. That's when we find out how the new bionic things sound.

A big thank you to mu husband for taking care of me all afternoon. he is the best.

For now I have some tea and a kitty and some netflix.

Gathering soft foods and beverages.

Cleaning the cat box.

Running errands.


I'm not nervous about the surgery. I have been told that the recovery will be less rough than the sinus surgery i had a few weeks ago.
I am feeling the apprehensiveness that comes with big life changes. That change of your sense of self. This comes up with things like hearing aids, glasses, braces, etc. It just takes some time to get used to.

So anyway, here we go! We are leaving the house far too early tomorrow morning and hopefully will be home by noon.

Prescriptions and soft foods picked up.

I don't feel like wearing my HAs makes much of a difference conversation wise, at this point. They basically make some sounds louder, like I can kind of tell the phone is ringing, sometimes. And I just noticed the heater turn on.
