Oh my God! Finally! I got the call today from the Hearing and Speech Centre! My evaluation is November 12 and I get butterflies every time I think about it!
The website notes that "20 surgeries [per year, presumably] are now possible in Halifax (14 for Nova Scotians, 6 out of province)..."
Six out of province.
I feel terrified to be this privileged.
I don't know how long after evaluation the surgery usually happens. I jokingly told someone the other night I wanted to be hearing by Christmas. Now it is a theoretical possibility, although I don't expect it.
Lord, I hope I am a good candidate. I swear, I'll never take a sound for granted again. Not George W. Bush's migraine-inducing bizarre linguistic contortions. Not French pop radio. Not even the sadistic commands of a phone menu system.
I may still have to mute Ralph Nader's dispatches from cloud-cuckoo land, of course. One is only human.

Good luck, Ronnie. I'll be thinking of you in November. I check the blog every few days to see how you're doing and really appreciate your candor and insight. I can also relate a bit to the therapeutic value that writing about your experience may provide....
