I did it ~ I finally called my surgeon and scheduled my BAHA surgery. The big date will be July 29th ~ three days after my birthday...and I think it's a really cool gift to give myself!
It will be outpatient with local anesthetic and at a newer/prettier hospital in my area. It's a little farther away from the house than the hospital where I had my AN surgery, but this is where my surgeon is going to be doing his surgeries from now on and hey, if someone is going to screw a bolt into my head ~ why not have it done somewhere pretty!
I was thinking I'd look a little like Frankenstein ~ but now, I'm going with the Bionic Woman....much cooler!!
Dale and I agree that this is a positive step and in the long run will make my "quality of life" a lot better and will ease some of the frustrations we've been dealing with......and heck, if, by some miracle, my hearing comes back one day ~ then that will be a bonus....but not something worth holding out for!
The countdown begins....
