Happy New Year!

Hi Jan and Happy New Year!

Yep!  My BAHA surgery is on the calender for Monday and I'm confirming the time sometime after 1:00 p.m. today  My doi's office called on Wednesday and said 10:30 but that I should call New York Eye and Ear Infirmary today to confirm.   I was hoping to be first but mid-morning beats afternoon.

Hi All -
I called New York Eye and Ear Infirmary today and am all set.  I have to be there at 9:30 a.m. surgery should take place about 10:30 a.m.   I'm sure it willbe a piece of cake.  After brain surgery, pretty much everything else pales by comparison with a few exceptions.  I am excited but mostly relieved the wait is just about over.  Anticipation is always the hardest part of anything.  We have a busy weekend planned so it should speed by.

Wendy -

trust me, the surgery is a piece of cake - especially compared to AN surgery 

You'll be fine.  I'll be thinking of you.

Oh, yea, and if you feel like sharing your BAHA hat pictures - provided you get one - please do so.

I heard Phyl will be awarding prizes at the 2009 ANA Symposium

If there is a prize, I want to be in...does the wrap job that I had for the T3 count (& all the bruising should count double!)??  Especially since I thought they said they put panties on my head and that is the 1st thing I blurted out when my Baltimore friend walked in??  I'll post those if there is a prize involved!!

I hear I will have a hat for the first 24 hours and will have Rop take pictures -- hopefully no panties on my heard though!   K- that could only happen to you   I'd love to see that picture!  I'll even chip in with Jan for the prize!!!

K -

sounds like the ball's in your court 

Wendy -

looking forward to the pictures.  Wonder if your "hat" will look like mine - or like the one with the box and string (I can't remember who that hat belonged to).

I really didn't have panties on my head - I just thought that I did.  The morning after surgery, Dave had gone to get us settled where we would stay for the rest of the week b/c they said they were releasing me soon.  Of course, right after he left, the residents or whomever came in.  They wanted to change my bandage, but the when the Dr. asked the nurse about that stretchy guaze stuff to put back over it, she said they didn't have any - the only thing they had like that was some panties that they give women after having a baby.  Since I couldn't hear well (SSD & bandage) and couldn't see at all b/c I couldn't fit my glasses over the huge (both sides) bandage, I thought they said I DID have panties on my head.  When Melynn walked in, the 1st thing I blurted out was, "I have PANTIES on my head!"  I will try to post the picture...I think I kept Jan's PM with the instructions!  I will warn you though, I look BAD!!

I tried to resize it but it didn't work so now you get to see it even SCARIER!!!

Okay, K, you get my vote.

Ouch!

Yikes K -What did they do to you?   you look like something the cat dragged in and forgot to drag back out again.  I'm glad the T3 surgery was worth the pain you must have had.  You definitely deserve a prize!

I am hoping to just have a little pain in my jaw and head.

K, you look like you got KO'd by Rocky!  Holy Cow.  Well, isn't it nice to have THAT behind you.  Honey, you just won the Oscar, the Emmy, the Tony and probably the Stanley Cup for sure.

Actually, Sue, I think Rocky was a little less bruised!   

Yeeeoooowwwwccchhhh! - that hurts just to see the picture.  Kay, you definitely deserve a prize of some sort.

Wendy - I'm so excited for you!  Monday!  Yay!  It probably feels like it took forever to get here!  I hope everything goes perfectly!  Before you know it, you'll be that much closer to sporting your own BAHA!

Steve, I remembered to write 2009 on my first check of the year - but I wrote December instead of January.   

Anyway, Happy New Year to all!
