Shel's CI Adventures

Hi, Everyone, and WELCOME! :O) ... On April 28th, 2005, I was implanted with a "Bionic Ear" from Advanced Bionics! My activations will be on June 7th, 9th, and 16th! I created this blog so I could share my experiences with all of you, as well as keep a record of them for myself! I hope you enjoy reading about them -- thanks for sharing this incredible miracle with me! :O)

Practice

This morning I went to Mass, and they had fellowship afterwards ... Pattie asked if I'd like to start the auditory rehab. practice with her today -- of course, I said yes! ... I took Pattie home so I could see where they live, and then I went home to get my materials and change my clothes -- and then went back to Pattie and Chris'. ... I tried to make one of the rings like they use at Hopkins, but I can see through mine! I'll have to double up the material and see if it works better -- it was too easy to cheat and open my eyes so I could read her lips! ... We talked and practiced for about an hour or so ... I did worse with her ... she talks a little fast and the paragraph/story she read had long sentences and unusual words! She's a retired physics teacher, though, so I'm sure she's pronouncing everything correctly! :O) ... I'm going back again on Tues. and Thurs. mornings. :O)
