Title: Great and scary news!
Post by: GrayBeard on August 09, 2011, 09:25:50 pm
As I was walking toward the baggage claim today I got a call on my cellphone from my sister...she was beside herself...asked if i could sit someplace...then she told me...........

The Cochlear Implant surgery has been approved by the insurance company!!!!!!!!!!

Great News but also scary but I am going ahead with the procedure.
Surgeon has a full schedule through September and I am scheduling for probably the 2nd week of October.

I'll keep you all posted and ask for a prayer or two to help me get through it and pray that the darn thing works for me. There are no 'guarantees' but it works for most folks.

Congratulations GB. If it works, It's going to change your life. You are going to start hearing things you haven't heard in many ears. Including snoring by your partner!

Congrats Ed,
 
I guess the approval is an answer to many prayers, so praise first!
will pray for good surgery and a successfully working CI!
