It's been over two weeks since the surgery and things are healing nicely. I do have some swelling near the implant site, but know that will go away in time. Only the top part of the incision seems to have scabbed over and it is doing great. Thanksgiving is this week, and I wish I could say I was looking forward to it. We are driving to a town just over an hour away to have dinner with my sister-in-law, her husband and their two daughters. I dread the whole thing. The hearing in my non implanted ear has gotten worse and the idea of sitting in a crowded restaurant at a table full of people that I can't understand is not my idea of fun. But, it is important to my youngest daughter, so I will do it for her.
