I had my 6 month check up and my MRI scan, every thing looks great the nuerosurgeon said..and I feel great!!! I couldn't ask for anything more than my great outcome..the only thing I notice now is in large group settings, hearing conversation so in August I go and talk with my Otolaryngologist (who also did my surgery ) about the Baha implant...it is something I have done research on and I am ready for it!! Plus I did talk to my nuerosurgeon about it he said it was excellent and great for acoustic patients!!! I do go back in 6months again for another MRI, (which I feel like a pro at)..plus with the hearing implant I figured I would get it done this year as well ,since I already meet my insurance deductible. ..lol...I figured I will have it all done this year!!! I can say that from day of surgery till 8 weeks after, I feel better than I have felt in years, my energy level is back, no headaches, and I have not had any complications post op.. I hope all have the same outcome! !! One thing is for sure,you view life differently..
