Good Morning All ....
 I do not think any of us will ever forget September 11th date and for all those families that lost loved ones the media attention is  such a hard reminder --- I pray for them all ......................................
I have not blogged for a bit as life is going along pretty normal ..... once in a while when my battery goes dead I leave it for a few minutes and being deaf is such a void ---- I can still remember the morning I woke up deaf while  we were on vacation in PEI and how blank I felt and that is exactly how it feels ---- I thank God every day for my implant .....
Yesterday we had our annual around the town yard sale ---- it is one great big social event .. we sell lots of stuff but we also get to visit with friends that drop by as so many people know that we always have stuff in the sale .....so one thing I had in the sale was my door bells notifies that flash lights .... I do not use them any more --- BOUGHT REAL ONES AFTER CI !!!!!!! anyway I saw this young lady looking at them and she pointed them out to fer friend so I went over to explain what they were and she said Oh I do not need them I have a cochlear implant ---- I said really ..tell me about it and she said she got it as a little girl --then I showed her mine and told her my story .... off she went and I thought wow that was neat ......
Later in the day this couple comes in our drive way and I am not sure exactly how the conversation got going but very quickly we found out that we both had CI , both were implanted by Dr Morris and both went Adrienne our Audiologist ----man we were talking back and forth so much -- he had been totally deaf for 6 months --his name is  Mike  and was the first person I had met that was similar to me in that he heard went deaf and now hears with a CI ......we were like  2 little kids ---( Adrienne don't listen) we even switched receivers to see if they would work LOL !!! they didn't ...
One thing we did talk about was battery power and where I use up to 4  a day , his uses 2 ..... so need to find out why ..... he asked about my balance --those of you that know me know how bad it is ... his too ...
Mike lives in PEI .... He said he might be a candidate for a 2nd one ---- I sure hope that it works out for him  ......
Well I was just so excited all day to have met Mike and so needed to blog that ...............
Sun is out today so to one and all have a GREAT SUNNY SUNDAY ........ Chris
