UPDATE AND ONLY 4 DAYS LATER

Hello All, I went to see Allison on Monday. It was a good visit, I don't have to back now for 3 months unless something happens. So, giving you fair warning if I don't write much in the next couple of months. Please understand that I go back to work on August 10th, WAIT I am still working, uugghh! This darn summer school but it will help to pay for the cruise that we are all going on in March on Spring Break Yea something to look forward too. Anyways, back to my visit with Allison, went well. All of my electrodes are still working so I don' t think I will have any malfunctions there whew!!! I had to do another hearing test with sentences and words. Well I got 100% on the sentences and 60% (15/25 words) on the words. BUT I was getting the words with only 1 letter wrong like lug for mug, noose for neice, doll for dull, etc. its harder without any context to help me figure it out. I do know that Allison said it should get better by the next visit as I keep working on listening.
On a side note, there is a new processor coming out in the next couple of months so I may be a candidate for getting the new processor which is smaller than the one I have now. So I will find out if I can be part of the trial run which would be cool. I think that I will get pink again. I like my pink processor ALOT!!! But then again that's me! Talk to you all soon. If you would like to get a hold of me sooner, email or call me. Bye Great Grandma and Glen ; )

Hello Hello Hello

I did not wait so long to come to y'all this time. Yea for me to remember! Anyways, went to see Dr. Kelsall on Thursday of last week just for a check up on the surgery inscision and stuff. All is well, he asked if I would do it again and I said of course. It has been challenging but great. Its all work for me which is fine by me, keeps me on my toes. He did tell me somehting that would be really cool, if I decdie to the other ear. This week he was doing the 5th surgery on a new implant/ hearing aid hybrid. So, the hearing aid part would get all the low tones and the implant part would get all the high tones. That would be so cool!!!! So that could be the next thing for me in a year or so, we will see how things are going. For me to have high tones in both ears may drive me crazy but it would be worth it, don't you think??? Well I go see Allison the third week of July so I will have more information and how things are going then. I will let you know that I definately could tell that I have not been listening to the radio for the last 4 months, went to the Bucky Covington and Blake Shelton concert and had a hard time understanding what they were singing. didn't have a hard time hearing, it was sooooo loud, OMG. Oh well, we will see how it goes when we go to Def Leppard in August. Talk to you later folks.
