Approved!

“Univera Healthcare has authorized your request for Implantation with Cochlear Prosthesis in the left ear, the device itself and follow-up care by Dr. Ernesto Diaz-Ordaz from 7/19/2007 to 12/31/2007.”

THANK YOU UNIVERA! And thank you Steph for pushing buttons to make this work…..MUAH!!

In fact, the 12/31/2007 date is now sometime in 2008 since I originally plan to have it done sometime in January which is a slow month, race-wise. And yes, we do have 5K races in January and February! I am really looking forward to going “stereo” and judging from conversations with other bi-lateral implantees, the difference is as good as being implanted the first time. And I’ll definitely go for the Advanced Bionics Harmony BTE. No doubts there!

So folks…look for part 2 in my saga to better hearing!
