in the waiting room:
What do you mean we don't look tortured?
I guess we hide it well!

Listening to my iPod is really cool!

Hey, brilliant result on the activation. Listening to her Ipod already, woah that's QUICKK!!

katie :D
Were you all just exhausted! What an exciting day. I hope you have some video to post. Edie Gibson, Advanced Bionics
Yay -- I've been looking for a post and thinking about Amanda, wondering how her activation went. That's so wonderful! Great pictures, too. :)
Is it making her facial muscles twitch? Maybe they can adjust something to help with that, or does it go away over time?
I hope she's enjoying sound on her second day of activation!!
Hugs,
Wendi
Jennifer tell Amanda I said Congratulations!!!! I am so excited for her! Can't believe she is already listening to an Ipod! Wow!
Hi KATIE, I just posted part 5 of her activation. The whole thing is related to her iPod and how much she is enjoying it...even if it's only to feel the twitching. Hopefully we'll get that taken care of real soon!
Hi EDIE, I've not got 5 parts of her video posted. There will be at least one more part. And yes we all were EXHAUSTED!
WENDI, glad you liked the pictures! I think Gonzálo got some really good ones. The one of Gonzálo and me was taken by Amanda. Yeah, her eye has been twitching, and now today, Sunday, 5 days after activation the whole side of her face twitches if her processor is set too high and there is a loud noise.
Hopefully some tweaking will help plus going away over time is another possibility. Her ENT wanted to give her some time to adjust. We went back in 3 days after activation because she wasn't hearing/feeling anything and she got updated programs. She still hasn't experienced "sound" at least we don't think so. The only thing she is still reporting (although we can see it and she doesn't have to report anything) is the twitch. Hmmm. She's not complaining and wearing her processor faithfully.
Your activation is 3 days away!!! Yipeee! Looking forward to your post!
OLIVIA, consider her congratulated! And she told me she went on your blog. :-)
