I had a fun meeting with some other CI folks the other day, I told my tale of the meeting with the surgeon and guess what? Both of the people I was speaking with thought their surgeons were ‘jerks’. We all realized that the surgeon is the last gate keeper to make an assessment. I respect the surgeon now, for his experience and caring.
I’m two days from surgery and have anticipatory nerves. Step by step I am moving forward toward better hearing and understanding.
