So!  Update!

Yesterday was supposed to be the day when I had my implant turned on [replace with phrase that doesn’t make me feel like The Terminator], but the FDA still hasn’t released the Naida Q7o, the latest processor from Advanced Bionics–available pretty much everywhere except in the US.  Rather than going with their previous model (Harmony) with older technology, I’ve chosen to wait for the Naida, as I’ve been assured the FDA will be approving it any day now….

Patience is a virtue, after all, right?  ::taps fingers on table::
