My mom and I waited for less than 5 minutes before the pre-op nurse called me in. She took my vitals and had me change into a gown. She then was getting ready to give me a Iv for fluid and antibiotic. So I warned her that I'm a hard stick.... But she did it in one shot in the worse possible place! Then they put an nausea patch on my other ear and a pill to help with pain afterward. After all this, they brought my mom back into the room. We hanged out and then the anesthesiologist came and told me I was a easy patient, that because my heat his so good, it was a slim chance of complications due to anesthesia. Starting 10:45 I was keeping a close eye on the clock and was getting anxious! Around 11:10 Dr. Nosan came in and marked the ear with a happy face. :) when I was walking to or, my heart was pounding!
Then as we got into the or room everyone keep talking to me with the mask on! I was like ummm I don't have my aid on and I can't lip read. So this one nurse started flipping her mask up so I could understand her and she used basic sign. They had me lay down and I don't think I lasted a minutes breathing into the mask. I woke up in recovery room feeling a little nauseated. So the nurse gave me some zofran for it. My right ear felt heavy with the headband. My mom and dad came in after I woke up. Dr. Nosan then told me that when they tested the implant, my ear was already picking up sounds more than he expected it would. Which sounded promising. We then went home and I slept until 8 pm. The anesthesia wore off family. I wasn't really hungry but I ate some crackers and a banana. I was wide awake after that. I went to bed at like 2am watching movies. :)
