Charlotte,

I have a feeling I'm going to make it. This med is working so wonderfully well, I can't believe it.

Vivie · 03-02-2009, 08:20 AM

<- I'm sure you can read this smiley just fine 'cause I love it... hehe... I bet you can't wait <giggle> Italian Food ALWAYS sounds good!

About your book: I know what you mean when you start writing and can't stop or things are getting into your mind that you didn't think of beforehand

20 chapters might be long, but that depends on how long your chapters are. If each chapter is 2 pages then it's not aaaall too long

Jamie,

My chapters are averaging about 3-5 pages in length. If I can have the book printed in a smaller type font, that should also help.

It's funny how you can start writing and before you know it, you've written several pages. This is what happens to me when I'm manic. I normally write 2 chapters/day, but when I'm having a manic episode, I can write as many as 6. The words seem to fly off the page and I have so many great ideas I can't write them all down.

dreama · 03-02-2009, 04:34 PM

Sounds like you are busy. I take a lot longer to write. I keep going over it to change things. I've been writing on and off for over 10 years theraputically, but I've only just written something that I hope will sell. I've also written a short story for the NFB competion.

Please wish me luck on that.

Anyway I am glad writing helps. (Hugs)

Hear Again · 03-03-2009, 01:07 AM

dreama,

I wish you all the best with the NFB competition. Let me know what happens, okay? Good luck! <smile>

Hear Again · 03-04-2009, 06:47 AM

Hi everyone,

I e-mailed my CI surgeon to ask if the testing I will have on April 8th will cause dizziness. He said yes due to the fact that my CI will be stimulated by a variety of high frequencies. I'm not very happy about that, but if it means coming closer to determining why this is happening, so be it.

JamieLynn · 03-04-2009, 06:54 AM

I guess you will have too

I wish it were different....

<big hugs> Jamie

Hear Again · 03-04-2009, 07:11 AM

Jamie,

I have to be honest. I'm really not happy about this. I remember how dizzy I was when my audi gave me a hearing test and then played every frequency to determine which ones caused dizziness. I think I'm going to take a Clonazepam before my appointment so I can be calm and not become too excited or nervous about becoming dizzy.

JamieLynn · 03-04-2009, 07:17 AM

I think that's a good idea... Is your sister or a friend going with you that day? I hope so... I hate going to the eye-doctor in May because she will put drops in my eyes again... I know that's not the same but I hate it too 'cause I won't see anything for a big part of the day... that just sucks!

I'll have special thoughts for you on that day!

Jamie

Hear Again · 03-04-2009, 10:06 AM

Thanks, Jamie! I'm thinking about having my neice come with me for moral support as well as the fact that since this test will cause dizziness, I don't want to take a cab home alone.

JamieLynn · 03-04-2009, 11:34 AM

That's what I was worried about. You taking a cab alone (or even a bus!!!) It's cool your niece is coming with you! <smile> Elseway I think I might have been able to come all the way over to Wisconsin <giggle>.

Nah... Unforunately I'll be moving stuff around then, so... can't work for me... LOL

Jamie

Hear Again · 03-04-2009, 11:42 AM

Jamie,

Too bad! LOL. Seriously, I'd love to meet you someday!

I suppose they would want you at your worst so that they can assess you to find out what/where is causing you to spin... I know it would be horrible for you but hope they would find the problem that had been causing your dizziness. I like your suggestion on taking a relaxant (I could do with some LOL!!! ).

All the best. Wish i was there to help... perhaps i would go and visit Jamie instead since she's just over the channel...

((((((HUGS))))))))

for your interest,

There was program on tv in uk today about 2 young people with CI One is Micheal Batt who was the first child in UK to recieve multi channel CI and another was Thea Kyle who was deaf all her life and recieved it 18 months ago, she still signs but says that having CI had made her life easier. Thea is old friend of mine when i was living near her and she has same surgeon as me!! Quite interesting.

JamieLynn · 03-04-2009, 12:43 PM

Charlotte... I might just as well hop into the next plane to London and then we could go to Wi together LOL. I might need somebody who knows ASL if Lisa doesn't understand what I am saying... I'm a fast talker

Can you lip-read well Charlotte?

Jamie

overthepond · 03-04-2009, 01:05 PM

I don't know any ASL!!! Nor my own country's sign lang!! I am very good lipreader... but would have to slow you down!! lol!!

overthepond · 03-04-2009, 01:07 PM

Nearest airport to me is Southampton... and muuuuuuuuuuuuchhhhhhhhhh Smaller and nicer than any of london airport!

I guess in that case we would be an awesome threesome <giggle>

An American deaf/blind, a British Lip-reader and a French hearie and fast talker.

That's bound to get interesting...

Can you see us walk down the street with Tigger in tow and trying to communicate in a decent aka normal way?

Jamie

overthepond · 03-04-2009, 01:14 PM

You are crazy!!

JamieLynn · 03-04-2009, 01:17 PM

Eh... what do you want? Can't be perfect

I think we have scared Lisa off with our crazy posts...

I'm off anyway to watch some german soccer!

<hug> to both of you, Jamie

Char,

That's so cool about your friend Thea! (By the way, how do you pronounce her name? Thee-a or Thaya?)

I'm definitely going to take a Clonazepam before my appointment. If I don't, I worry that I may end up becoming agitated due to the dizziness.

overthepond · 03-04-2009, 02:10 PM

I think it's Thee-ya but i am not sure, I haven't heard or practiced the saying since i had my CI so i wouldn't know, I used to call her "The" pre CI days, I haven't seen her for years!!! I left the area 5 years ago. I am now a good one and half hour drive from her. I was surprised to see her on TV today and my surgeon!!

My Nana fancies my surgeon and wants to come with me on my yearly check up!!!

You're Nana sounds interesting?

Why? I mean, is your surgeon cute guy? *innocent look towards bf and cheesy grin*

Btw, game sort of sucks so I am hanging around here for a lil while... (but still watching)

A very hyper-Jamie

overthepond · 03-04-2009, 03:27 PM

LOL at Jamie.... my Surgeon is OLD!!!!.... VERY gentlemanly though! My Nana is a real character! She's mad as hatter, 80 this year and rules the roost at her retirement flat complex, always knows EVERYTHING, i was at her flat all morning yesterday and couldn't wait to leave... as my ears was burning... Love her though, actually she's my Step Nan, (real one died when my mum was 14)

Hear Again · 03-04-2009, 03:27 PM

Jamie,

There's nothing wrong with being crazy. I'm 100% certifiable and proud of it!

It's amazing the men in clean white coats haven't permanently taken me away.
