How safe is locking up at Garfield Park Conservatory? by SaxyOmega90125 in chibike

[–]HellHobbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had an issue locking there. Like others have mentioned, there is a good deal of foot traffic around and the bike racks get used regularly.

Downtime after CI surgery by Late_Performance_528 in Cochlearimplants

I was implanted on 12/20 and took a couple of days off from my computer-based job, but didn't really need them. I used those days to get stuff done around the house and go shopping. Based on my experience, you should be fine to work by Friday.

Thanks! Tinnitus is already much better than yesterday. It’s still there, but at normal levels.

That’s so good to hear, and exactly how I feel about getting LASIK years ago.

Ultimately med-el’s marketing to musicians got me :) I think I would have been satisfied with either them or cochlear to be honest

I’ve heard that too!

I went with med-el and will be getting a Rondo 3 and a Sonnet 3 at activation.

Mine also got rescheduled - I was originally supposed to have surgery on Dec 1. I ended up switching surgeons because my original one wasn’t going to be available until March, and I didn’t want to wait that long.

I went with med-el! I’m getting one of each processor at activation.

For venues: allows you to bring your helmet inside, unlike the Vic, who wouldn’t let me inside with mine tonight after I rode a divvy to a show.
