I haven't been able to follow many threads lately, but you will be getting six sets of the best purrs from LA that you will come through this totally healed. Regards and Purrs, O J |

Many purrs and prayers
from Elisabet and Hugo Katt Jo Firey skrev i meddelandet ... As some of you know I have been waiting a long time, hoping to have Cochlear Implant surgery to allow me to hear. Last July my insurance cancelled the surgery less than 24 hours before I was due to have it done. And nearly two months after we had set up the schedule. It cost me the chance to go to Newfoundland with some of my cousins and the chance to talk to my brother after he became ill and before he died. I have been resolutely refusing to even think about the whole thing since then. Going to my appointments and taking the hearing tests but blanking the whole thing out of my mind. April 4th I went in for another hearing test which I failed miserably. That's a good thing. Since last July I've been on disability long enough to get Medicare and my hearing is bad enough to meet their requirements for the implant. I was most surprised when they scheduled the pre-op for April 18 and the surgery for April 28. Much less lead time than a year ago. And I'm told there has been a very recent major upgrade to the implants. I didn't say anything here because I've been sticking to the refusing to think about it routine. Until yesterday when they called and moved my surgery up to the 19th. I immediately went into panic mode. I felt like the room temperature dropped 15 degrees. But I've found ways to stay distracted and at this rate I'll be busy getting things done that need to be done before surgery right up till its time to go. It takes a month after the implant while the surgery site heals before the turn it on. Until then I won't know if or how well it will work for me. All purrs and prayers and good thought will be most gratefully appreciated. Jo |
