I’ve said many times here and there that my hearing loss condition runs in my family. Today began by being very challenging. I’ve talked previously about needing to take my oldest child, my five year old son, to get his hearing checked and today I did that. My cochlear implant audiologist’s office was a bit [...]

Discount Tires. All. By. Myself.
This week I was privileged (or not so privileged) enough to visit this place. Discount Tires. Yes, I do have a husband who could do this type of thing for me, but because he’s worked a few too many 12hr days this week, I absolutely insisted on going myself. My husband did call ahead for [...]

Energizer Bunny {or batteries} not included
There are a whole lot of good things that have come my way since the activation of my cochlear implant seven months ago. My marriage was revamped, my relationship with my kids blossomed, and I’ve made a zillion friends now that I can hear everyone. This past month I’ve come across the biggest, hugest, most [...]

And I really never find much. I’ve read a lot from other CI users about how it’s better to take off your processor on [...]

The {not so} new show about a deaf girl
My sister-in-law recently told me about a show that she thought might interest me. Switched at Birth. Synopsis, without spoiling anything, is that it’s about a teenage somewhat-spoiled high school girl who does some biology blookwork in class one day, and circumstances lead her to find that she was unconsciously switched at birth by the [...]

Never fear, my sidekick is still near.
I’ve been absent. It’s true. I think it’s been, what, a week and a half since I’ve blogged last? Quite possibly longer… I’ve been busy having pictures taken, taking pictures, and planning and attending events. Yesterday we hosted one particular event. Think of fourteen screaming happy girls (most under 5yrs old) at a luau birthday [...]
