Wonderful!....No Rain at all today...was sunny and a little breezy....
So, when they checked with the mold making company after my email, they found out my impressions never showed up. So now I have to go in for new impressions today. And wait again.
They said they would FedEx overnight and hopefully the company will expedite the order. The aids have arrived at the audiologist's. I was hoping this weekend to try out the new aids which supposedly have a feature to help hearing in noisy restaurants, etc., when we go out w/ family for my husband's birthday. So I wouldn't be as frustrated trying to follow communication as I have been.
Trying to stay up mood-wise and not dwell on my frustration and disappointment. Life is still good, after all! 
Feeling like, why *me?!?*:roll: On June 7 went in to contract for new aids and get new impressions made for the molds. All supposed to be back to the audiologist within two weeks. Didn't hear from them by the end of last week, so I emailed to ask. Turns out they used the U.S. Post Office *without* sending with delivery confirmation, to the mold making coming. The impressions they made June 7th never arrived.

Can you use your old molds with the new aids while you are waiting? I realize if you are needing new molds you may well get some additional feedback with the old ones. But, the additional features of the new aids seem that they would be welcome anyway.
Eventually even hypoallergenic molds begin to break down and not fit well. :| My audiologist agreed with me yesterday when she made the impressions that I couldn't really give the new aids a good trial until I had the new molds. She warned me that because I'm getting cheaper aids ($3500 vs. the $5000 8 years ago), even though new technology, the quality of sound may not be the same as even my old ones that no longer meet my hearing needs. So, I don't know what to expect.
Can't afford the $6000 version of what I have now. If the quality of sound is worse than missing words with my current old digitals, I can return the new aids, cancel the 12 month loan, and get my $500 deposit back, I guess. (I have 30 days to evaluate the new aids.) And just keep on going until my old ones stop working. 
Just found out extra extended family will be joining us to go out for birthday dinner for my husband on Sunday! WOO! HOO! Gonna be fun! Making my chocolate cake for after. 
How strange. This is exactly what my post would say. No sleep, drove an hour to the dentist and it is super hot outside. I need to add that some idiot ran into the back of my car at the McDonalds drive thru. It was a good bump, but I thought getting out and trying to discuss it all, would have been too hard. So I guess the "idiot" got lucky today.
Feeling sort of like a "roasted peanut"....haha...sure is "HOT"....feeling good about myself, as went to a shop my friend knew and bought some of those Electronic Ciggs.....funny thing about it was, about 5 people had gathered outside the store door and were "smoking" real ciggs....say what?...guessing they were enjoying one last real ciggy before switching over to the electronic ones....Gotta quit!
