HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted September 28, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm seeing online where some people got a stuffed animal (elephant) courtesy of MedEl when they had surgery. Did any of you guys get one? I understand they named it Mellie. It's cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 28, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Mellie is very cute and magnetic. She has an internal magnet too, just like us. I’m not sure if she has two. Smile. In the US, I have seen Mellie in pediatric activation kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted September 28, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I figure I'm probably a tad too old for the pediatric kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted September 28, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Well I guess I'm a kid at heart. Apparently some adults abroad have gotten Mellie. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted September 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 @Jewel - I didn't say I didn't LIKE Mellie and would like to have one. But at 60 I can no longer hide the fact that I'm no longer able to qualify as a pediatric patient. Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassychele02 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 @Jewelwe are definitely kindred hearts. Lol. I begged my Audi for one before surgery and she said "we will see" . They ate usually reserved for the kiddos but I'm going to ask again. Mellie is so cute!?. She had all 3 stiffed animals from the 3 CI providers. I would have gladly adopted any of them?

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted October 19, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 @sassychele02 I didn't know about Mellie until close to my surgery date. I thought I would have woken up to a Mellie in the recovery room although I didn't ask for one. I thought everyone got one. I was very disappointed not to get one. My Med-El rep advised me this week that Mellie is only in the paediatric kit so I can't get one. But I see adults who have posted elsewhere that they got one. It's unfair; we should have been given the option. So it is a bit of a downer. Anyway lmk if you are successful in getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted October 24, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I was just poking around in the webshop and discovered that there's a Mellie processor retainer: https://us.shop.medel.com/product/mellie-processor-clip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted October 24, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 @Mary Featherston Couldn't access it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted October 24, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 @Jewel - oh, that's the US webshop. Isn't there one that you can access? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted October 24, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 @Mary Featherston No I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted October 24, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 @Jewel - I can't get on the webshop from work, I don't remember my password. But I'll go on there tonight and take a screen shot, it's just a retainer clip (like a tether, one end is a band that goes around the processor, the other end is a spring-loaded clip you can put on your collar. The clip for the collar has a picture of Mellie on it. It's not as cute as a stuffed elephant but if you like it I can order it for you.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted October 25, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks @Mary Featherston You're right, the stuffed one is prettier. I'm hoping that I will soon get access to the webshop. I still haven't heard from the Argentina office, probably because they speak Spanish and I speak English! I don't know how MedEl could put Jamaica as part of Latin America. For all the trouble Med-El has put me through methinks I deserve a stuffed Mellie ?.
