Finally a chance!

So on February 20th, I had an appt with Dr. Nosan, the surgeon to see if he would consider doing the surgery when I am still borderline.  I was prepare for any answer he would give me.   I checked in 30 min before my appt hoping to get done quicker if it was a flat out no.   Dr. Rodel called my name and took me back to his side. This threw me off because I had the ci testing in November already, but Dr. Nosan wanted to retest me before he came in the room. There I spent 30 min pushing a button for beeps, and repeating words. After he tested me, he told me that I was the picture of consistency   In other words, this mean that I am still borderline.  Dr. Rodel then took me to Dr. Nosan office to wait to talk to him.

I was nervous and anxious to talk to Dr. Nosan about the possibility of getting the CI. The first thing he told me was, " What am I going to do with you? You just keep staying borderline in the testing? He looked inside my ears and then we talked. He then again talked about the the concern that the right ear hasn't heard since I was 5 years old. He wasn't sure how my brain would translate the sounds it heard, whether it would mesh together or not.   I was like I just want to try it and it it doesn't work, then I am fine with that but I don't want to regret not trying.   He told me he might consider it if I work hard on learning the new sounds. Then I told him, " I would do whatever you want me to do. I would love to just have the opportunity to hear. " I was praying to God to give me the right words to say and for him to give me a opportunity if it was meant to be.  Then he was like you might win me over with that..... and all the sudden he said "Why not? Let give it a shot." When I heard the why not?, My heart was leaping with joy and excitement. I was so happy that I was going to get an opportunity to hear. Dr. Nosan then proceeded to tell me that the next step was to get an MRI and then get 2 vaccinations before the surgery. I was beaming with happiness. He told me on my way out to go to the MRI office and have them schedule a MRI. After I finished talking to Dr. Nosan, I then walked down and schedule the first MRI they had available, which was March 3 at 10:20pm.
