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....
OH MY GOODNESS, a post! just kidding!! I certainly don't have any room to talk - my blog is SAD! Hopefully things will get a bit slower since today was the last day for school for the girlies! So excited for you and your BAHA!!!

ReplyDeleteIf you have not yet had your surgery.......
You may wish to check out a doctor in Stuttgart, Germany by the name of Madran Samii.
He was recommended by our neurosurgeon, he said Dr. Samii specializes in AN surgery.
Hope you read this, we have no other way to contact you.

Dale & Kathy
