I enjoy thinking and discussing ideas, rolling them around in my head or with a friend; I enjoy taking delight in simple things like a sunset or a smile from a child; I enjoy using my hands to create things of beauty, whether they have a specific "function" or not; I find a walk in the woods to be rejuvenating; I love to pray and worship alone and with others; I like to play with my dog and with little children--engaging them to their delight delights me in return. My husband is my best friend and I wouldn't trade him for anyone; I'm looking forward to our 50th anniversary (in 20-some years!)--he says, "Triple or nothing." I also have a progressive hearing loss and have worn hearing aids since 1992. My hearing deteriorated to the point that I got a cochlear implant in my left ear in March 2006 and in my left ear July 2008.
I frequently tell people to wait to tell me something, since "I can't listen and drive at the same time." So this tagline on a CI forum made me laugh out loud:

That's hilarious! Love the quote, and love your blog! I hope you'll consider adding it to the aggregator at Deaf Village (www.deafvillage.com) -- we'd love to have you as a part of our community!
It works both ways.... my boyfriend almost rear-ended someone because he was so intent on facing me so I could read HIS lips.
Hi Liz! Love your blog! It helps so much to know the different reactions and range of progress people make once CIs are activated. Can't even imagine what it will be like for Amanda when she's activated in 13 days!
I hope the dizziness evens out...and SOON!
