So as if Alice’s original N5 breaking wasn’t stress enough for this week, she now has a middle ear infection in her newly implanted ear.

More antibiotics and, no doubt, another trip to St. George’s to get it checked out. Let’s hope it’s nothing serious.

It’s one of the things you suddenly have to be very careful of with implantees. Any infection that passes to the implant itself can cause real problems.

I knew this was all going too easily.

Bugger!
