<div dir="ltr">As the mother of a 14 year old who is totally blind and on Nov 21 will receive the surgery-- I would love to hear anyone's experience... Here's one question: firstly, did you wake up in a lotĀ of pain from the surgery? Glad to hear you are glad you did it, Chris!<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Kara</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Nov 3, 2019 at 1:58 PM Chris Westbrook via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I thought it would be neat to start a thread on cochlear implants. I have been "activated" for almost three months now and am glad I did it, but it has been a challenging journey. Just curious what others' experiences have ben. I am considering writing an article for the braille monitor on my experiences, as I feel that the broader blind community needs to be more educated about the experiences of some of us. I am also willing ot answer any questions anyone may have. Look forward to responses. Thanks and have a great day.</div>
