Mike -

Congratulations!  I entered this event on the AN Treatment Calendar:  http://my.calendars.net/an_treatments/d13/07/2009?authenticate=&display=M&style=B  :)  Enjoy!

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

SSD right. Tinnitus big-time, only when thinking of it.
BAHA since 7/20/10 ... really helps w/ hearing, specially after programming in subliminal message: "Hey, don't listen to your tinnitus!"

Mike -

I agree with Greg.  It does  seem like just yesterday you had the implant surgery - but then again, that's easy for us to say  ;)

The 13th will be here before you know it - and I can tell you from experience, that you will find it to be an amazing day.  Spend some quiet time outside on the 13th just listening to all the noises you've been missing on your "bad" side.

The day I got my Divino I spent about an hour outside the hospital, where the doc's office is, sitting in a little chapel that had water streaming down the walls.  It was incredible to hear the birds chirping, the water running, etc.  I really enjoyed it.  Sometimes it's the small things in life that make you the happiest  ;D

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Mike -

July 13 will be here almost before you know it.  The last month of waiting was the hardest for me and I became almost obsessed with the idea of using my processor, but in a good way (anxiously but excitedly waiting).  I'm glad you have something good to look forward to expecially since you are having other medical issues.  I hope whatever they are you will be okay without having to go through too much.  I agree with Jan that the little things tended to really make me happy after beginning to use my sound processor. Hearing birds chirping, kids playing and particularly the ice cream truck playing ist music.  Now, if I could only figure out which direction that sound was coming from... ;D

I don't get wired for sound until July 23. My doctor instructed the girl at the appointment desk to schedule me "anytime AFTER the 22nd" since the 22nd was my 3 month mark after surgery.
