HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted July 4, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hi Maliaham, welcome to Hearpeers and good luck with your surgery on July 11. I've been implanted for 3 years and it was the best decision I ever made. My advice to you is to rest and take it easy after your surgery because once activated the work begins. Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. We call it the 3 Ps - patience, practice and perseverance. Do you have support from family and friends? The people on this forum will pop in soon to give you more advice and direct you to sites that will help in your rehabilitation. If you scroll through the posts in Hearpeers, you will find lots of information that will be of help. Please keep us posted on your surgery and activation. Ask any and all questions. One or all of us will respond. Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/1253-hello-from-honolulu/#findComment-11803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Welcome maliaham! It's a great journey. My right CI was implanted in February 2015 and my left CI was implanted in October 2015. They are amazing! I have the Sonnets and the Rondos. Today I swam in the pool with my Rondos in waterwear covers. It is so great to hear while swimming. I just posted 2 PDFs that give useful Med-El sites as well as auditory training ideas for adults in the FaceBook group called Med El Cochlear Implant Discussion Group. Search for it on Facebook and ask to join. One of the admin will add you. I hope you stick around here too. It's a friendly group of Med-El users as well. While I waited for my CI surgery and in between surgery and activation, I found myself reading as much as possible about the journey of others. Look around the posts here. There is a lot of info. I wish you the best on your hearing journey, Mary Beth Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/1253-hello-from-honolulu/#findComment-11804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
