The Waiting

The waiting is the hardest part

Every day you see one more card

You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part

Probably not what Tom Petty had in mind, but the fourth week of waiting to hear from the new insurance carrier is starting to get on my nerves a bit. It's almost impossible to make any plans more than a couple weeks ahead, not knowing how quickly I might get scheduled once we finally do hear back from the insurance company. 

I do have an appointment with the audiologist this week to discuss the two systems. The choice of which system I have implanted is mine, and right now, I'd have a hard time choosing. Each system has features that I like that aren't available on other.   What would be really nice would be a mash-up of the two systems.

Probably the biggest thing about the appointment this week though, is it will give me a chance to try on each of the processors, and find out how they feel, how heavy they are, what color options are available, fiddle around with the controls, things like that.
