Hey all,

Some of you will probably recall that I had a cochlear implant done in
my
left ear last year - the results have been great for the most part,
except=

in one big area - speech disrimination and sound discrimination in noisy
environments (not that I ride a motorbike or anything like that, you
understand! ;) )=2E

Anyway, I went through testing back in July and my audiologist
determined
that I qualify for a bilateral implant - that is, an implant in the
other
ear - and the surgeon agreed with her when I saw him last month=2E=20
Fortunately the surgery was precertified by my insurance company and I
am
to have it done on Sept=2E 29 - so close!  I'm really excited about this
because hopefully I shall be hearing fully in stereo for the first time
since I was five=2E

I will be home for 2 weeks following the surgery and then go back to
work
fulltime=2E  The surgery is outpatient and I will be in the hospital for
o=
ne
night=2E

So exciting=2E=2E=2E=2E! (even if it is the second time!)

Kat
