Hey, I'm bilateral! I'm so excited and am eagerly waiting for the activation of the second CI on my right ear. August 7th is the big day! The bandage picture is not very good. I forgot to take the camera so we used my phone and mistakenly had the setting on small so it's hard to see. I admit the picture wasn't the most important thing to me just then. It was taken right before Bill removed the pressure bandage (after 24 hours) and I didn't want to delay that at all!
The incision picture is about 3 days after my surgery, which was on July 9th. It really doesn't look that bad if you don't think about what they do inside there that doesn't show! It's been three weeks and it's all healed up now. I'll write more about my surgery and the events leading up to it soon. In the coming posts I'm going to compare my experiences with surgery and activation to what I experienced 10 years ago when I had my left ear done. I kept a journal during that time so it will be interesting to get it out and see what I wrote. (I just have to find it! LOL)
