post Activation - 1 week and 6 days (Thank You)

It's nearly 2 weeks since i've been switched on, it's has gone pretty quick for me.

I really can't belive that the first week I was about to give up with the implant as the beeping sounds really annoyed me. Without the encouragement from Abbie, Laurie, Jenniefer blogs and of course the yahoo group. I probably would of given up with the implant by now which I would still be in the silents world and leaving the implant in the poor box.

Now it's the 2nd week things has changed alot for me. I've started to become more confident. I can't belive how much stuff I have heard that i've never heard before this week. I know it's early days yet which i've alot more mapping to come and voices still sounds a bit muffled (mickey mouse) etc

what I really want to say in this post, is a BIG THANK YOU to all those that supported me all the way on here the blog and the yahoo group. You have really help me alot and my life with the implant is getting better and I am proud to become a Bionic women :-D

will keep you all updated on the next mapping etc.

bye for now x

You are so sweet! I'm just glad we were able to encourage you to keep it on! :) We've all been there and pretty soon you will be coming across someone that wants your bionic wisdom :)

This is the fun part that you are going through. I miss going through the detective stage hehehe... Otherwise, I'm so glad to see that you are having a great time adjusting so far :) It only gets better and better!
