Only ten days to go now before I get my head opened up, as if I need that...lol After 6 months waiting to get accepted and 2 years on the waiting list I am finally to get my CI on 10th March. Mind you I have been waiting a lot longer than 21/2 years...more like 56 years to be precise. My...

Yes I am indeedy.....have mentioned it a couple of times in others threads but not started one of my own.......think I'll go and do that right now.

it was in the middle of a new years eve party so plenty of witnesses and their faces where a sight to behold......hehehehehe

Well Steve, its the 29th February here now in the Land of the Long White Cloud (New Zealand) I dont know how far behind us you are timewise but I guess you must be getting close to your hospital stay, or running around screaming mad....lol Only ten days until I face the same anyway best of...

Glad to be of assistance with your kicks:giggle:

well I have never carried a card, worn a badge or anything like that and dont intend to start at my advanced age. The couple of times I have been pulled up by police I have had no trouble, just said , "sorry officer I am deaf and need to lipread" if he hadnt believed me i would have shown him...

Thank you

Present b/f asked when we first met, "do you use braille" something he has never lived down. also, supposedly great mate asking "do you carry card to say you are deaf in case police pull you up and think from your voice that you are drunk"..... swift reponse to that one was, "do you...

Same as hearies saying baff (bath) muvva (mother) favva (father) filfy (filthy) just plain laziness if you ask me and really peeees me off when I had to put much effort into learn to pronounce word correctly.

This exact thing could very easily have happened to me, I was adopted at 6 weeks old and my adpopted parents were not told that deafness was hereditery in my birth family.I was not diagnosed as deaf until 5 yrs old but lucky for me I had wonderful parents and my mother spent many hours teaching...

This comment came from someone who had known me for a few years and was a good friend........mind you it was after a few drinks He asked...."do you carry a card to say you are deaf, just in case you are pulled up by police and they think from yoru speech that you are...

Whilst I have no doubts at all a mate of mine who was called up for implanting last Novemmber was just like you, 2% undecided right up until the day. Now he says its the best thing he ever did, after only one month he is up to 97% on one of the tests, (think it is word recognition) and using the...

Thanks for the advise shel, however it seems Chase has a g/f, anyway he's still in USA and I like my men within grabbing distance:giggle:

Well now....um.........not so sure about the young bit, well into the granny years here at 56, and I think its just a flattering pic, why else would I put it on here....lol Hope I didnt get you in trouble:giggle:

Problem is they are all in USA where I cant get my hands on them:giggle::giggle::giggle:

Awww..........only 3 weeks, surely they would stick around longer for a cutie like you

This thread saves me asking all the same questions...so keep it up guys. Ruminator......your switch on is same day as my surgery, 10th March. How come you only have 10 days to wait for your switchon? I have to wait 3 weeks!!!!! Also everything you state about lipreading and auditory...

Well put it this way, I am dependant on my H/a for a bit of sound whilst lipreading. Friends who have been implanted are now more independant than me in that they can , in some cases, have a conversation without lipreading. I know this wont mean much to signers but in the world I inhabit its a...

And there's no cure for that.........hehehehe:giggle:

You nailed it there Jillio, maybe its time to close this thread and stop giving them what they obviously crave.
