Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Deborah, I didn't mean to come across wrong but the reason I joined this room is to talk to people in the same situation as me as well as people with hearing loss since birth. I also joined it for support with dealing with all of this that happened overnight on April the 28th of last year. I get one here for advice, knowledge and to educate myself. I just had my first implant and was done right before the weekend so am experiencing things that aren't normal as any surgery of course. Thanks for the support and am doing well, Vicodin is taking care of the pain and am moving forward through it all. I will respond to questions like what you asked my only in personal emails back and forth.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 O I understand. Please know I am praying for you. Blessings! Have a great day! Debbie Cole -_._,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 and , I'm so sorry about the pain and discomfort you are going through. Hopefully things will ease up in the next hours and days. I hope you recover quickly and want you to know there are people out here wishing the best for both of you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. > > , > > Just woke up again with some pain in the back of the head. Took another Vicodin and Motrin. Vicodin doesn't give me headaches. I think it's just from the surgery but am learning from everyone else which I assume you are as well. You will like having the bandage off, I know I did. Still have some stuck to the strips but am going to have my PCP take the rest off on Monday as for I am to nervous to do it. Afraid I may pull the strips off over the incision. Hope you do well today and get better. > > > > ________________________________ > From: Yuan <lisayuan3@...> > > Sent: Sat, February 27, 2010 8:48:00 AM > Subject: Re: Re:After Surgery > >  > Hi , > It's nice to have a " buddy " going through this together. I am feeling better today. I've got a big bruise above my mouth, I'm guessing from the tubes. It almost looks like a moustache. That with my turban has given me a bit of comic relief every time I look in the mirror. > > Anyway, I'm so sorry you're not feeling very well. The coughing must be so painful. Every time I burp or move my mouth, it hurts like hell. Also, I wonder if your headache this morning could be from the Vicodin? Even though it's a pain killer, Vicodin has been known to cause migraines in some people. I've taken it once before and ended up with the most debiliating headache. I'm taking a pain killer called Propoxyphen- APAP... seems to be doing a good job without many side effects. > > I had heard going into this that the surgery was so easy, just a couple hours in the hospital and mild discomfort after that could be eased with Advil. I guess we are proof that we all have different experiences. I spent 11 hours in the hospital with extreme pain and discomfort. I also heard that hair was no longer shaved, but that must vary between hospitals. I did have a patch shaved off, not sure how big yet but will see when I take off the bandage today. > > Anyway, my thoughts are with you. I hope your headache and tinnitus subside soon. You're right... Valium sounds good right about now! > > - > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 and O. - hang in there. All that you are experiencing is quite normal. Those who have no pain or tinnitus after this surgery are the " abnormal " ones! LOL It can take a week or two - or a few months to feel like your old self again. Once you are activated, some of that tinnitus really does fade into the background a bit when wearing your processor. These first few weeks the tinnitus can roar and take many forms - including sounding like a freight train coming through your head. I had 3 of these surgeries. After the first one I was driving in 4 days, off pain pills, but black, blue, yellow and red for a few weeks on the surgery side from forehead to down my neck. After the second, I had no bruising at all, but was a little dizzy for 2 weeks. After the third, no bruising and feeling " off " , including very dizzy, for about 2 MONTHS! There is no rhyme or reason why it happens to some and not others. So - hand in there - if symptoms are debilitating , call your PS - and tell us here. We may be able to help - if nothing else, insist you call your PS. Good luck! Jackie (the original) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi everyone, Thanks for sharing your experiences - it helps as I get through this recovery process. It's the 3rd day after surgery and I'm definitely feeling better... but not ready to go back to work. I started getting dizziness yesterday. The prescribed dramamine has helped. The bruise on my face is moving downward, so hopefully it will soon dissipate. For now, it looks like I've been socked in the mouth. Pain has definitely subsided a lot... I'm really tired, but that could be from the meds. Thanks for the heads-up about tinnitus. It's screaming loud, but I'm used to having severe tinnitus. In a way, I'm wondering if it's better than having complete silence in that ear. I am still getting used to the total deafness in the ear they implanted. Lastly, I CAN'T WAIT to wash my hair!! - > From: Flashwun@... <Flashwun@...> > Subject: Re: After Surgery > > Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010, 1:05 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > > > and O. - hang in there.
