Pre OP

well, to day began kinda weird, went to bartels office for my physical check up, they remodeled their ofice so it was kinda crazy. I was used to the same set up for 17 years then all of a sudden its different. Its nice but different. got all my stats taken, and was of to see the doc. He came in looked at my MRI, and said all looks good, except my left ear (to be implanted later) looks like it will be harder to implant than my right. I didn't pay too much attention to it since my right is being done not my left. Well after all was said and done there, The doc told me they will be filming my surgery, for education and teaching purposes. I told him i am ok with that as long as i get a copy of it. Imagine a copy of my CI. how cool! well i then traveld over to pre op and registered, and got all the good info i needed, no food after midnight, blah blah blah! well the cool thing is my surgery is at 12:30pm, and i have to be there by 10:30am. and tomorrow i turn BIONIC. Hehe. I told my kids i was going to the hospital to have them cut my ear open and put a robot in there so i can hear. My youngest said "me too?". i had to laugh. well 11 hours to go and then 28 days before activation. i think i am gonna need some anxiety meds or something cause i don't want to wait 28days! but i gotta, well i need some sleep now or i may be tempted to drink.

remember: jst because a child is an innocent creature, doesn't mean they are innocent!
