My new head

Number of sleeps since implantation: 12
Today's thoughts: odd shape under my skin

The swelling is reducing around the operation site now and I can clearly feel the shape of the implant under my furry head - it is pretty weird. It feels a bit squishy - like the soft part of a baby's head.

It feels weird that this new shape is becoming a part of me... a bit freaky if I think about it too much.

Today's cochlear implant fact - insufficient research has been carried out on the effects of Bungee Jumping in implantees - the best they can suggest is that the external components are removed if you want to risk it...don't think I'll be adding to that particular research data base.
