I have had a naked head and face for ages, so I may just grow some hair and a beard for a change

Been about a month since surgery.
Had a docs review today.
Healing well, hair growing back well (except where it aint meant to)
But I was hoping it wouldn't be grey again
No photochopping in this pic, so its looking sweet without my help
I still have to keep it clean and dry, but now no dressings needed, except if doing dirty jobs, or at times when theres a risk of knocks.

Thanks everyone for Your concerns, interest and good wishes.
I am turned on now, very
Got device today. At l;ong last.
I wish I was well enuff to get excited.
Maybe termorra ?
Gee whizz the world is a noisey place.
Hearing is brilliant, but I'm understanding the "off" button already
Go back in another month for a check up, and tune up.
Give my brain chance to learn new stuff, too.
PS I photochopped some colour into my hair, for fun, not pride

Hmm.. I wish I could turn my hearing on/off at will.
It would be good for the nagging.

I been a bit crook lately, I'm only getting a little better, but I am getting a lot more excited.
Drove Claire home today, which is about 30 k's
I could hear her all the way..tho this could turn out to be a negative some days
She is happy, cos she can have the tv at a less painful level, and she can nag me more successfully ....oops I mean instruct me and guide me
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
)
If it don't work anywhere else, I'm still happy, cos driving was my main trouble..and my passengers main fears .
I'm hoping the automatic volume can be turned off, tho, as quiet sounds get too loud, and louder sounds clip it off...I'll adjust if it can,t tho

We had another BAHA Audio appointment recently.
I was quite excited, as hearing has been great so far, and I thought an adjustment may make it even better.
I had issues with the Automatic Gain being a bit intense in a few situations.
Not enough to bother me, but I was chasing perfection.
But by the time I got home from the audio, I realised I'd lost all the clarity, and was having trouble understanding people again.
I was quite sad, annoyed, and felt like somebody had stolen the last 5 years off me.
the audiologist said that can happen, and I don't have to wait 6 weeks till next appointment.
Thank goodness.
I am happy again now.
Maybe high expectations should be tempered a tad, or I should give myself more time to adjust myself, before asking for changes.
