Got a last minute slot, IV in and just waiting to be taken to the OR

I (28M) have had significant hearing loss in my right ear for basically as long as I can remember, and only this year found out that I’m a candidate for BAHA.

We were worried I wouldn’t be able to get the procedure because our insurance changes next year and might not cover the hospital system I’m a patient at, but found out 2 days ago a slot opened today and now here I am.

It’s all happened super fast and I’m kinda glad I don’t have a month of anxiety waiting, but boy am I nervous now!

Getting the Oticon Sentio and anxiously looking forward to a major life change. Fingers crossed I made the right decision to get the surgery!
