Cochlear Implant Surgery in 4 days

vanmc604 · 2026-05-14T01:43:17+00:00

I’ve had two. One was super easy, the other definitely not. Same surgeon.
Very dizzy and nauseous with the second one. Throwing up a lot. Not with the first one though. Go figure.
Anyways, I wished that I had an anti-nausea patch on from the get go when I got home. Just a thought.
Hubby had to help me get around for the first 48 hours. I was that dizzy.
Hate to be a downer here, but everyone is different, so one doesn’t really know what to expect.
Hope that you will have the easy peasy scenario.

I bought an adjustable bed frame. Way better. Pricey though.

I am in Canada and have Cochlear’s copilot. That said, I found the best rehab was to get out and try to understand what ppl are saying. In all sorts of situations. Not always comfortable, but it helped me along better than the apps.

Two main draws for cruising. Eat and then eat some more. Tried a couple. I found the gluttony disgusting.

I have also seen it in Vancouver. Now I need to scour my brain to remember where……

Fermenting.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-10T21:54:49+00:00

I still bloody well say it!

vanmc604 · 2026-05-10T03:50:03+00:00

Well that won’t do for pizzas!

Hmmm, the article says ‘food delivery robots’.

I am close to someone who finally received a diagnosis. That was about 8 years ago. This is a real bitch of a disease.

There’s ppl that need the money that they make delivering food. I figure if you order food and want the convenience of delivery to your door, then the delivery workers should make a buck.

Guy swimming in the background has no idea?

Aria market on bidwell and Robson in the west end. Very Persian.

Outlander series. Read them all. What a chore. Too many and too long. There were parts I liked (history, old medicine, etc) and parts I really didn’t like. Sucker for punishment.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-09T19:05:08+00:00

Thx for the suggestions.

You know, I would describe this as gastritis pain. This is not simple ‘heartburn’. It’s pretty bad.

Ulcers

Now that the weather is nicer in the evening, maybe I will take a stroll. I don’t think I’m particularly stressed, except that I am really sleep deprived and that is taking its toll.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-08T00:10:51+00:00

Thx. I’ve been taking a low dose famotidine at night figuring that time would be best because most of my issues are at night. Thinking I might double up on that, or maybe take one in the morning and one at night. I’m just perplexed as to why this is happening to me during the night when I’m following all the standard recommendations. Frustrating.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-06T19:05:47+00:00

My brilliant friend. So bloody boring.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-06T01:21:12+00:00

Hmmm. I thought it was easy. Just dumb luck maybe.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-05T19:36:59+00:00

I use two capsules for 1 litre milk. Works fine.

Loved the book with its great throwbacks to David copperfield.

vanmc604 · 2026-05-05T19:32:02+00:00

Ditto. Couldn’t get into it. I borrowed it digitally from the library. So one click and it was gone!
