Just to let everyone know where it is all at.

If you have never seen a cochlear implant the X-ray below was taken before I left hospital yesterday. It is bigger than I thought it would be.

Today I have been in some pain so currently on the heavy drugs. This was to be expected for a few days. I think yesterday I was still on a high and not noticing it.

Our puppies Penny and Daisy are happily keeping me company when I lay on the bed. 😊

Overall though I am feeling pretty good and soldiering on.

Hey guys.

I was warned that from a pain perspective day 3 and maybe 4 would be the worst and it sure was. Nothing excruciating that I couldn’t handle but i knew it was there.

It is weird, because now there is no hearing that I can detect in the right ear I sometimes have a feeling that half my head is missing. Grin

Today has been a good day so far.

Good on you Bear, don't know about the rest on here but I was certainly thinking in the same boat my wife would be on my right. Ha Ha. Good to hear ( unintentional word use) that it is going OK Derek. I am fortunate that I only need hearing aids. Got some new ones in the pipeline through Costco. Haven't worn any for a few years so overdue. Interesting following your journey. I'm sure the bloke that started the cochlear story was an apprentice at GMH Elizabeth. right or wrong weather our car makers all shut up shop, the bigger question is where will the next clever Aussie get his training from and develop the next break through in inventory/ development
