BAHA Processor
« on: June 17, 2008, 05:25:33 pm »
Great news from the BAHA front.  My appointment to get the processor has been moved from July 3 to June 27.  Wow, that's next week.  I'm doing the happy dance.  Of course with my balance it's more like the drunken happy dance.

Linda -

that is amazing news!!!

I hope you like the processor as much as I do  ;D  You'll also like all the "gifts" from Cochlear.  I somehow ended up with not one, but two, blue toothbrushes!

Don't forget to let us know what you think.

I hope you don't mind, but I just put your BAHA processor date on the AN Calendar.  I wanted to be able to remember the day so I can check in with you and see how you like it   :)

Linda,

That's great news!  You must be really excited and who could blame you?  I hope you love your BAHA processor.  I'll check back next week and see how you're doing.  In the meantime try not to fall over during the dance of joy!

Yes, I'm excited, but also a little nervous.  I'll post as soon as I can after I get it.  I have Grandma Duty this weekend for my almost 2 year old granddaughter so my time on the computer will be limited.

I think you're going to love it!

Keep in mind that it does take a little while to get used to - especially attaching it - but you'll adjust fairly fast.
