Sorry to be so long in replying. Had to run to Walmart for Depends. We winter down in S Texas, and the handicap parking is always full of old people. So it takes a long time to get one of the spots. NEWS FLASH: They now have Depends for men. My wife thought this was a good idea, as I was using hers. Question: Does this qualify as "Peer Review"? Well back to the questions.
No I'm not interested in stem cells. I just thought that with the number of posts about them, that there would be some interest in an article in a small paper that most people would not get to review. I assumed that people would check it out on thier own and draw thier own conclusions. Which some did.
I have been evaluated every year for the last four years, and have been on the borderline every year. As I am on the goverment dole, I can't afford the operation. I have to wait for Medicare approval. With these new HA's it doesn't look like there is a snowball's chance in S. Texas of that happening.(Altho we did have a white Christmas three years ago, first ever).
My Speech Discrimination Tested 40 - 41% unaided. Aided it is 67%. I don't know what the tests were called, but took several hours in the isolation booth. At this point I'm not realy interested in CI.
I found an article in a local Iowa newspaper about a less invasive CI. It said it was the first operation of its kind with this proceedure. AND it was FDA approved. No peer review, however. One more thing: On Fox news last night (ok liberals come on out) there was a brief story about Adult Stem Cell being used for Brain Damage (maybe I will try for that) AND was FDA approved.
Disregard spelling errors, I don't have a spell checker.
