Cochlear Implant Surgery

1/20/2013

I had my surgery for a cochlear implant on my left ear Friday-what fun. Now it hurts when I try to wiggle my ears. It will be a month before they program my new implant so I am deaf on the left side, not that it matters much. I could not hear very well any way. Therefore, I am not working for a while. I plan to work on my book(s). The instructions they gave me after my surgery said I could eat frozen vegetables. I tried it, but they are hard to chew so I went ahead and thawed them.

My wife was glad for me to be back home. She did not go with me because we could not afford to board the dogs and stay in a hotel in Brooklyn. The surgery was at the Brooklyn VA, a four and a half hour drive. Groovy, one of our greyhounds was glad to see me when I got back, but Prada, the older greyhound, was mad at me for leaving. They gave my wife a hard time by refusing to eat. I usually feed them. They found an old coat of mine and kept sniffing it. I my wife refused to sniff it. You cannot beat the love of pets.

I am scheduled for a cochlear implant surgery on Friday. Hopefully, that will improve my hearing. I am getting pretty good at reading lips. They will install magnets in my head behind my right ear. I have to wait 4 week before they can program the hearing aid. Meanwhile, i will be deaf on the right side. However, I am already planning things to do with that magent in my head. I could put a metal pen or mechanical pencil there. I thiuhgt I might make up some signs:
1. Deaf ear.
2. The elevator does not go all the way to the top.
3. Lights are on but no one is home.

I am looking forward to it. I don't think I will tell my family. That way I can discover what they are saying about me. Might have to change my will.

Wish me luck!
