Don't eat the lemon jello

Dev,

Just don't eat the lemon jello. I was fine until I ate it. Tasted just fine going down but......
Anyway, just a word of caution.

I can't remember the last time I ate Jello before the surgery. I made several boxes during recovery at home and yes, I did eat them too. Tasted good and was easy to eat since my jaw was so sore.

BTW, you may have some shoulder and neck pain afterwards. I'm pretty sure my wife laughed at me because for a couple days, the only way I could get out of bed was to yank I mean lift my head up with my hand to get past the painful part.

Looking back, I would do it again in a heart beat and today was yet another experience. I had a meeting at work with between 18-20 people in a fairly large room and quite a few on the conference phone. For the most part, I could hear what they said and actually could understand each and every word when they spoke. I had to really pay attention to what they were saying because I was at total aww in that I could actually hear the people on the speaker phone too. Two months ago, I probalby would have skipped the meeting or would have walked out as it would have been a total waist of my time not being able to hear or understand what was being talked about. What was even worse was when they asked my opinion and I had no idea what was going on.

Today is a different day giving me a total different outlook on life.

What is probably the most interesting of all this is what other people say to me about my appearance and attitude. Quote from a co-worker "You look and seam so much happier" and another co-worker said "You are smilling a lot more the last couple days"

I think the last time I've had these emotional swings with co-workers talking to be about their observations was when I started dating my wife.

Anyway sorry to get de-railed here, just had to share.

BTW, watch out for the jello.

:) I'm so happy for you that you are feeling this way so soon after activation. I know what you mean - you have your confidence back and can look at people in the eye without being afraid of the situation at hand.

Isn't it amazing how much a CI can change our lives for the better? A CI user I know said it best: "A CI replaces sadness with happiness, tears with laughter and isolation with friendship."

Here's wishing you continued success with your CI! :)

Hear Again - just wondering if the above calender is easy to read for you? Let me know if I can change the format in any way.
 
R2,

I didn't have any difficulty reading the calendar with my Braille display. Thanks for your consideration. :ty: :)

By the way, creating this calendar was an excellent idea!!

I second that! Wow! Thanks for your hard work, R2 -- what a line-up! This forum is so different from almost a year ago. Everyone (with a few exceptions) are really supportive on here.

Here's to a big :grouphug:

Greema, I felt kind of wierd posting the info about Marshalls CI. Since he is not my child, I almost didnt post it. You know the whole personal info on the net and stuff. But I thought about it and realized that the info was already posted in the CI section, so I reposted it. I hope I did not offend or upset anyone. If I did, please let me know.
