Activation Day At Last

My activation was scheduled for after lunch, so since we’re 45 minutes away we had a leasurely lunch in town before the appointment. My granddaughter, Leslie, went with us to video the activation. I determined that the “a picture is worth 1000 words” would be better than trying to relate what actually happened.

  I felt like my brain was saying “What is that?” when we got started.  Because it sounded mechanical it took a few seconds to realize I was hearing words. As the words became more pronounced I couldn’t determine who was speaking because the voice sounded male with no differentiation. I laughed to realize I was hearing myself sometimes.

I received all of the accessories that came with the implant, but was only paired with my iPhone for now. Words are sounding much more normal now.  I feel incredibly blessed for this experience.
I’m a bit tired from all the concentration so I’ll be happy to take the processor off for a while.
