HearPeers Heroes Kay Posted August 10, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi, I am anticipating my 2nd implant on October 9. I didn't have any problems with the first implant so I'm not expecting any now. My concern is, I am committed to co-host my book club on the 11th. It would be better if I checked my calendar when I schedule this stuff but being me, I didn't! ? So I'm wondering if I'll be fit to do this. I can't remember what I was like the 2nd day after first time around though I do know I had no pain really. I'm sure I won't be a fashion plate . I plan to buy the refreshments so that won't be a problem. I don't know why I get myself into these predicaments! ! Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 10, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi Kay and I am excited that your second CI surgery is approaching. My recommendation is to swap hosting months with another member. Why have that concern hanging over you when you should just be focused on recovering? That's my two cents. If you are up to it, you can attend it. If not, no problem. Ivana Marinac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kay Posted August 10, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks Mary Beth. I just didn't realize it was that soon after surgery. I'll have to see what I can do. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted August 11, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would either cancel or swap with someone else. For sure!! Give yourself time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kay Posted August 11, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks Mary Beth and Kara, I just didn't realize it was that soon after surgery. I'll have to see what I can do. I had lunch with my sisters today and my sister Pat said she will sub for me so I only have to help prepare for the meeting before hand. Sisters are wonderful, at least mine are. I appreciate all your advice. I don't remember enough of the after surgery from last year. it.

HearPeers Heroes Jdashiell Posted August 14, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I had a 2nd implant this year and my first CI carried me without a problem during the healing process. I did have to wear the ear cup bandage for two days before removing it and be able to shower. Removing the bandage also helped the processor fit better!

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted August 16, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I would also vote for rescheduling of the Book Club - Kay, you never know whether this ear will act same as previous. I don't want to scare you but you have right to have a balance issue - I wouldn't recommend any improvisation... Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kay Posted August 16, 2017 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks Ivana. Since I have arranged for a sub to fill in I can do whatever I need to do, go, don't go, help or just sit. The meeting is at my sisters house so it's almost like home.
