OOOPS so much time as passed!

OOOPS, sorry about the time passing right on by folks. I have been doing Summer school services for my special ed. kids, getting Ty to dog shows, going boating with the family, working on the outside of the house, and are there any other excuses as to why I have not been on here. I went for a programming session on May 27th and it went really well.
Allison did some testing with me in the booth and I heard all of the sentences and missed only three words in the whole session. This is wonderful news, so I have the ability to hear now I just need to gain the capability to hear. I need to work on listening to people without having to look at their faces. That is going to be my challenge for the rest of my life especially since it is a 39 year habit. Not a bad habit but a hard one to break. I do have my hearing aid in full time now also and that has been helping with more natural sounds while my implant helps with making everything really clear. So I think I have the best of both worlds right now. I go back in middle of July to see how things are improving, so we will go from there. Talk to you later folks.
