I went to the eye doc today. The eyedrops didn't blur my vision as much as the last one, so all is good. Of course, the drops kept me from being able to read text for a few hours. I get new glasses on Tuesday. :)

Thank you so much! This is the first one I'm doing on my own. Cool. I'm glad that the lens implant helps. Perfect vision? Do you have really good night vision?

I'm having an eye exam done on Thursday. I need new prescription glasses. The exam is going to be done by an opthalmalogist, since I haven't had an eye exam since before I had my brain lesion 5 1/2 years ago. In these situations, the doctor will put eye drops to dilate the pupils. And...

I quit wearing 2 HA's when I went to college because HA's never helped my left ear. Sounds make no sense to that ear. It's more confusing to have 2 ears working against each other than it is to hear out of my right ear only. I never could really explain why it doesn't help my left ear, other...

Wow. :eek3: That's incredible. Gives me hope that my brain lesion/stroke may not be a contraindication for me to get the cochlear implant. :D Have any of you or do you know anyone who have cochlear implants after having a brain lesion or strokes? Of course, it depends on what the docs...

:grouphug: My husband I have gone through times where we could have separated due to financial strain. We openly discuss how we feel and what our needs are. We try to compromise when we couldn't achieve that.

You are right about that. Herbs can cause an allergic reaction for some people. Here is an article and pics on that guy who turned blue permanenetly. It is pretty weird, but fascinating. Hehe. Blue man Paul Karason is still blue after he self-medicates with silver for a skin condition |...

I'm not sure about that. I had a brain lesion 5 1/2 years ago. It was such a mystery and it looked like an inflammation. Many months later and more MRI scans, the lesion shrunk and revealed 2 tiny strokes. They could be scarring instead, but it's hard to determine. I could be a candidate...

No way! Blue? Now that I have to see.....

:laugh2: I've always had cats. They all LOVED my earmolds. Cats can smell earmolds a mile away. One time, I had them out and my cats took them and carried my BTE HA's away with them. They had not chewed on them yet, fortunately. My grandmother caught one of them and got both of my HA's...

LOL!! You might want to have his molds be a flourescent color bright enough to spot. :D

Two things they haven't included are the artificial shoulder/arm and the VNS Therapy for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression.

:eek: Microwave? So, would the microwave ovens cause cancer too? Like if you're standing in front of the microwave oven waiting for it to warm up your coffee or whatever that doesn't take long. Even with the shielding, you're still exposed to the radiation.

Now, that is cool! Wouldn't have to worry if you get caught in a downpour.... :dance2:

Hmmm. Interesting, I wonder how a CI would do with my VNS pulse generator..... I think they would do just fine together.

You know what? I think we would have longer battery life if we can get those nuclear-powered batteries. What a way to curtail the radioactive byproducts. :D :laugh2::laugh2:

My mom used to make those harnesses for me. I'm not sure why exactly, though. I guess she thought it would be "prettier" than those industrial versions.

WTF????? Hearing aids in the glasses????? Wow. How come I never knew about those? LOL. Now, this you will not believe.... Look at this one. http://www.walyou.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/hearing-aid-earring.jpg To answer the thread's question, I wore body aids from 6 months...

Totally awesome! I totally like this! I'd get mine like that, if I could. Only problem is finding the jewelry that I won't have trouble with in terms of reactions. I would need titanium or plastic, most definitely.

Yes, I totally agree with Alicia on getting marriage or family counseling. On my experience, my mother divorced my father because he was abusive, not because of the stresses of my deafness. My mother did not want me to have an abusive father.
