Title: Back Home....
Post by: GrayBeard on October 01, 2011, 12:42:46 pm: Before surgery, the Dr. reminded me that he would be working with my inner ear which is also the "Seat of Balance" for the human body and I could have some dizziness and balance problems. Came out of recovery, got dressed and almost fell on my face starting for the door. The nurse asked if I was all right and I said "NO"...
So they kept me overnite for "Post surgery observation".
Got home about a half hour ago and outside of a bit of a headache and a little pain in the left Mandibular joint (left jaw) everything seems OK.
Three weeks for the bone to fill in around the hole he drilled thru my skull and the incision to heal then I go back for the Big Turn On!
Hope to have it "Activated" by Oct. 20th!

Thanks to ALL my forum friends for the prayers and good wishes.

HUGZZZZZZZ to you ALL"

I'm going to cut and paste your report and send it to Cliff. I saw him today and he said he hadn't heard from you. So at least he'll know how you did.

Have to love your wife for letting them fill the hole.
Mine would had made them leave it so she could pore a little smarts in once in a while.

Post by: marmoh on October 03, 2011, 11:49:21 pm: Glad things went well GB. Have you made a list yet of the music you want to listen to ??
Title: Re: Back Home....
Post by: GrayBeard on October 04, 2011, 12:44:11 pm: I have over 150 vinyl albums and 60 CD's so I will work my way thru them all eventually...Everything from heavy classical to classic country!
Just think...Wagner, Sibelius and Strauss followed by Cash, Willie and Williams Sr.!!!

Insertion site feels a bit better today...still the tightness feeling from the healing process but most of the headache is gone...

The actual "Turn On" date is Oct. 20th at 9:30...they told me to be prepared to spend about 3 hours doing the 'mapping' which is the tweaking process and the beginning of the training process.

Going to be a really traumatic day I am sure.
