to my dear blog-readers,
this past Sunday night, a terrible tragedy occurred: my hard drive died on me, which means that i lost all of my e-mails, pictures, documents, etc. from the last year-and-a-half.
ugh.
my darling husband was kind enough to buy me a new computer the next day, but i've had to start from SCRATCH. sooo... i have a HUGE favor to ask all of you:
whoever e-mailed me in the last couple of months, can you please re-send your messages to me again? i really want to respond to everybody, but haven't had the time to do so. if you forward your original e-mails to me, I PROMISE TO RESPOND ASAP... for real this time.
thank you so much!
:o)
p.s. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
This blog was created with the intention of keeping my family and friends up-to-date about my sudden onset hearing loss, cochlear implant surgery and progress after activation. Since so much is going on, I figured it is easiest to just document my experiences in a place where everyone can read them on a regular basis. I truly hope that those who visit this site will get something out of it... ENJOY! :o)

THE Anniversary
one year ago today, my cochlear implant was activated...
i remember how overwhelming the whole day was.
i remember how much i hated the sounds i was hearing and how they made me cry.
i remember my husband looking at me with such sadness, wishing nothing but happiness for me.
i remember how supportive my whole family was.
i remember calling my brother on my cell phone and being thrilled that i could hear him... i couldn't understand a word he was saying, but i could HEAR him.
i remember how excited my friends were for me, even though they might not have realized just how deaf i really was without my implant.
i remember being amazed at how noisy the world is.
i am so proud for having come this far and for still having daily CI-moments.
i am SO grateful to everyone (especially Dr. Downey and Judy) for helping me get to where i am today.
hearing is W O N D E R F U L ! ! !
