So Far, So Very, Very Good
I'm home from my cochlear implant surgery. The surgeon said everything went very well. And I feel great. We arrived at the hospital 8:30 and left at 4:30. Amazing. Everything went so much more easily this time. People who had their first implant surgery 5-10 years ago always say that, but I was surprised (and delighted) to find it true for just 27 months later.
He didn't give me the big pressure bandage, because he wanted me to be able to put on my first implant so I could converse with him and with the nurses during recovery. So I have very minimal bandaging. The nurse gave me the supplies if I decide I want it.
I think the biggest challenge this time around will be making myself take it easy. That's a wonderful problem to have.
I feel so very blest.
Thanks be to God!

Liz,
I'm so glad to hear that this surgery is so much easier for you :) How did the minimal bandaging differ, was it just as tight?
the bandaging was not tight AT ALL--it was just a few patches of gauze taped over the back of my ear. He had to squish it a bit one more time before I left, but it seems to have done fine. Makes me wonder why the huge bandage other times...?
