Off we go

This is my last blog before my surgery next week. I think I’m more nervous about ‘afterwards’ than the actual surgery. I’m nervous that it ‘won’t work’, which sounds silly.

I’m excited too. I can’t wait to start hearing things better, trying new things and things I haven’t been able to do for years – like using a telephone.

I will be in hospital for a few days and it will be 4-6 weeks before my implant is ‘switched on’. I reckon I’ll be very impatient during this time!

I want to thank my friends, family and colleagues for their support and everyone who’s been commenting on or reading this blog. I hope it won’t be long before I can give you an update on how my surgery went and how I’m feeling.
