What are men like?

I had my assessment days over two days at the Cochlear Implant Centre. When my appointment letter came through, it offered April, which was a pain as I had a holiday booked that same week.

The assessment days were rearranged for May. The letter said it would be for a ‘pre op’ assessment plus a CT scan which made me feel a bit scared. I’d never had a CT scan before but I knew it had something to do with a ‘tunnel’. I felt a bit worried.

My father came with me. On the way there, we got lost and ended up on some country roads. My dad blamed me for misreading the travelling directions on my Iphone. I blamed him for not borrowing my husband’s Sat Nav. What are men like? There was a bit of bickering but fortunately as the appointment was the next day, being late wasn’t much of a problem as we were staying over in the patient accommodation provided.

This accommodation was comfortable. It is shared accommodation but we were the only people there that time. There was special smoke alarms provided as well as subtitles already set up on the television. So I calmed myself down by watching Britain’s got Talent and laughing at how Alisha Dixon’s tan made her look just like an Oompa Loompa.

I went to bed fairly early but didn’t sleep too great, probably nerves. I will blog about how the next day went next week.
