Going Bilateral. Two Cochlear implants! Surgery is July 8th.

Thanks everyone! I will be making a new post today. Made a new one yesterday. Today is going to be a long one, I think.
My newest challenge: Try not to end up on my wrong side when sleeping. I need to stay on my left side, not turn up on my right side. Otherwise I wake up in a little bit of pain on my ear. :\

Use a body pillow? Or bunch of pillows? Or a large, immovable doggie?

I may have to use a neck pillow! Hmm I can try a body pillow. I do have a lot of pillows to use so I'll put it between Mike and I. And on my other side, too. I'll try that tonight.

Yeah, because the dog will just shift with you when you move, so won't prevent rolling over! Good luck! And it will be interesting for you once you turn it on, as you will have stereo hearing - a new ability to tell where sounds are coming from? I miss that ability, though I took it for granted the first 30 years of my life!

Oh, Rachel - so happy for you! Progress is happening! And yes, I know how exhausting it can be retraining your brain!
