The whole inter thing was my idea. I did my research and I brought it up and I pushed it. No one has ever been able to swindle me into anything I have always been my own initiator. I do not put what makes me happy or what is best for me aside for no one. You keep talking about the companies...

The trip was amazing really relaxing

How can someone swindle me when it was my idea.

No one can determine how someone should live their lives. I choose this for me and no one else. Yes it sucks babies don't have a choice but that's that's parents prerogative to do what they wish with their baby doesn't make them a bad parent. Your trying to control people and that is worse than...

I don't think me getting a CI is harming anyone not even myself. I'm not getting the CI for my family in getting it for me. My mom doesn't even want me to get one let alone two but it is my choice. I'm just debating on 1 or 2. I will still sign and I will try to be apart of deaf culture. I just...

so I learned the BSL alphabet and greetings in BSL. It's a lot different from ASL but I think I might want to learn it. I'll be in and out of London so maybe useful.

I'm going to start signing around them. They will probably start trying to figure it out cause they know eventually they will have to learn its just about finding the time.

Before school that's why I am for sure getting my right CI but debating about getting the left one at the same time. If I do it now then I won't have to worry about missing any school later.

Yes it is and it's scary cause sometime I crash and sometimes I hallucinate.

Would it be weird if I sigh and speak daily around them. I was thinking of doing that and they will catch on hopefully.

I learned about 50-100 words a night but that is because I have chronic insomnia and I learn things almost immediately so for me is was no hesitation.

No one in my family has a Ci or hearing loss so that's why ASL isn't used in my family. I asked my mom if I was born deaf would she implant me or send me to deaf school so I can use ASL and she said she wouldn't implant me unless I was old enough to choose for myself. She said she would learn...

My family wants to learn but everyone is either in school playing sports or in a big part of their career right now. I'm the only with no kids and have time to learn. My family is a dig sports family so every college student is on schalor and ever high school student is AP and in sports and ever...

Communication with my family and friends and school. I'm not in the deaf world at all. My college courses for ASL are at the deaf school in my city so hopefully that will help.

I have spoke with adults that are bilateral and they all said the same thing that they wish they got them at the same time.

It's not a rush to fix anything. I have had set back after set back when it comes to school from injuries to just being to sick to go to school. I have 2 other surgeries I'm going through all before the year is over so when school starts in not missing anything and having to leave again. That is...

I think that it's a good choice for me to get the one in my right ear cause it definitely needed for me. To go bilateral just sounds a little scary but I'll be ahead of the curve is I get them both now and go through therapy before school starts.

I don't fear the operation I fear being completely deaf. And there are plenty of parents that have deaf children that raise them to be bilingual in English and ASL. I actually met a girl today at the airport that is deaf with a CI and grow up using ASL and was oral. Not all hearies implant their...

Very true. My mind is set on the CI and I'm excited to get it. But if I get 2 then that means I will be completely deaf and that is what worries me.

I'm not in the Deaf culture I only know 3 other people that are deaf. My family is hearing and only my niece is learning to sign. I want to be in both worlds but since I grew up hearing I find the CIs to be useful. I want to be an ASL interpreter in medicine I start school this spring semester...
