I can’t believe a year ago I was sitting Indian style in a paper thin cotton gown surrounded by the ugliest drapes I ever set eyes on observing nurses in colorful scrubs decorated with the sweetest little creatures pushing metal carts from patient to patient.
I can’t believe just a year ago I was listening to a train like sound going around and around my head providing me with an undesirable melody that just wasn’t quitting.
I can’t believe that one year ago today, I underwent surgery to have a cochlear implant inserted just underneath the skin of my head.
Ever since that day, my life has changed in ways that I never thought. I feel so enriched by the people I have met, the sounds I have heard and the experience of discovering what I have been missing all of these years.
Happy implant anniversary to me!

Jennifer wished Li-Li a Happy New Ear when she went for 2 and so I'm stealing that sentiment: Happy, happy annivEARsary, Abbie!
