Slow And Steady....

I finally turned my implant up to C 3 today. I figured it had to happen at some point. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to be able to adjust or not. It is loud enough to make my ears ring. I'm giving it a few days to try it out and I see my audiologist Thursday too, so maybe that will help things.

On another note, my incision is really starting to concern me. I'm almost 15 weeks post op and it is doing ok behind the ear, but on the scalp it is getting wider and doesn't seem to want to heal. It itches terribly and keeps scabbing over versus just finally and totally closing. I don't know what to think. When I do scratch it, it feels really sore right after. I'm trying to leave it alone but it's really bad! I suppose a call to the surgeon is probably in order, but then again, maybe it's nothing to worry so much about. It isn't infected, so there's that at least!
