The sporadic pain still bothers me sometimes, throbbing slowly for a while. If I then take Tylenol, it generally disappears within 20 minutes or so. Then again, if I don't have the Tylenol nearby and I postpone taking it for a while, the pain also usually disappears within 20 minutes or so. Not always, but usually. So what does that suggest? I'm not sure, especially since it's throbbing right now and I took Tylenol less than 2 hours ago.
Someone emailed me yesterday to tell me that her surgeon had told her not to use an electric toothbrush after CI surgery. I asked my surgeon and his nurse said it was fine to use one. So does that clear up that issue?
I'm trying to pay attention to what I hear, and don't, these days. Being deaf in one ear and almost deaf in the other certainly does make outside sounds seem farther away and softer. I feel as if people are whispering instead of talking around me. Of course, still having some of that cold doesn't help. But there is not a huge difference in what I can and can't hear. I still can't hear much, but I couldn't before the surgery either.
Fifteen days until activation. I hope there will be a big difference then.
