Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I had my first surgery on Friday, Mar 25 and was back to work teaching Tuesday morning. The only reason I didn't go on Monday was because it was a school holiday. ________________________________ From: cassandra <cssndrwtsn@...> Sent: Sun, May 15, 2011 10:29:32 PM Subject: New Cochlear Implant  Hi, I will be having surgery on my left ear on June 14, 2011 and 2nd ear November 15, 2011.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you've ever had surgery before where you were under general anesthesia, that will give you a clue as to how you react to that. I took about 10 days to recover the 2nd time, and probably a week the first time. Drugs hit me very hard. It helps if you have meals prepared ahead of time, and sleep as needed. Or if you have someone who can take care of you so you don't have to do anything but recover. Hi, I will be having surgery on my left ear on June 14, 2011 and 2nd ear November 15, 2011.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Cassandra, I had my CI surgery on Friday, April 22nd at 11:30 am. Was in recovery at 1:30 pm and walked out of hospital at 4:00 pm. Saturday I took it easy and on pain meds. Sunday much better. Pain lessened. Monday I was able to do just about anything except I had chipmunk cheek due to swelling and I had a slight cab door ear on the CI side. Tuesday was quite normal except I still had swelling. So I would say if you recover like I did and others here, you'll probably be good to go by Tuesday and Wednesday for sure.
