@susanmarylynn Your surgery is 7/23? That’s my surgery 1 year implantversary. Things went great for me and they will for you too.
The nursing staff will probably give you a small plastic bag to place your eyeglasses and hearing aid into. They then hooked the bag to the hook on the pole that holds the IV bag. Shortly after I was awakened back in the room I was prepped for the surgery and sitting in a chair to earmt a snack and drink some juice, they gave me my glasses and hearing aid back. You are allowed to wear these things right after surgery, but be prepared to fidget wth the arm of the glasses ghat is on your implant side. You will have a bandage around your head like a head band and a dome like plastic protector with bandages underneath protecting the operated area. That domes area is where you will need to find a spot to lay the eyeglass arm. Everyone is different, but I had no pain, just soreness. You will receive scripts for at home meds. I had all mine filled, but didn’t use them all. My meds were a pain med, a steroid, anti nausea med, an antibiotic, and lorazepam (I think or something similar, which is normally used for anxiety disorder, but in this case, used to help you sleep). I only took the pain med a day, the steroid and antibiotic till finshed. Did not need the nausea or sleep meds. You will probably be in hospital total of 4 hours, 1 hour before to be prepped, an hour to two hours surgery, and 1 hour recovery. Seems long, but it isn’t surgery is a blink of an eye. You will get post op care and probably you follow up with the surgeon a week and a half later to check area and remove any stitches. At that time you will be released from the surgeons care to the audi to receive sound processor and get activated. That’s how it went for me, Iwould expect something similar unless Canada does something different.
Good luck, all will be fine!
