I&#8217;m back to my normal routine, including exercise. The twinges of pain have dwindled down to very occasional, and that side of my head is no longer tender to the touch. I was able to put the left arm back on my glasses a couple of days ago. I can even lie on that side again, although I don&#8217;t really sleep that way yet as there&#8217;s still a little discomfort when I do that. The ear continues to be numb, which I think is contributing to the discomfort if I try to lie on it, but the doctor said it may take a couple months for that to go away. I&#8217;ve had no trouble sleeping since the night after the surgery, so I&#8217;m not complaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a little jealous of all the people on the FB CI group who got activated a week or two after surgery; my doctor said four weeks, and so my activation date is August 16.

Still, I&#8217;m eager to see whether all this turns out to be worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I probably won&#8217;t post another update here until after activation, unless there&#8217;s anything interesting to report (which I hope there won&#8217;t be).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healing continues to go well.
