Made2Cherish: What was I thinking?

http://made2cherish.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-was-i-thinking.html

Monday, February 2, 2009. What was I thinking? There are many times I pose this question…do you? Like when I take my kids to Chuckie. Cheese, or brave a store with all THREE…or only buy one of something when I know I need three to prevent WW3 breaking out in the Espiritu. But today I sit and realize that my kids are not longer babies! The twins will be 4 tomorrow…and just a few weeks later Bryce will be 11! Where did the time go? 8221; She thought the dress was just beautiful! Granted I am not a sentimen...

Made2Cherish: The birds and bees, life as I now know it...and catching up!

http://made2cherish.blogspot.com/2009/06/birds-and-bees-life-as-i-now-know-itand.html

Thursday, June 11, 2009. The birds and bees, life as I now know it.and catching up! I can tell you right now that I am finally catching my breath after a crazy 3 months! I am not even sure where to begin. I had my tonsils out in March I think.I was sick and desperate to get come relief! And relief is NOT how I would explain having your tonsils out as an adult. It was horrible and painful.but that is exactly what the Dr. told me to expect. But I am better now! So that is all that matters. As for the twins...

MyCI Journey: May 2012

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. That Was a Good Drum Break. This past Memorial Day weekend. Will be memorable with me for quite some time. For the first time in 7 years I played bass drum in the Purdue All-American Marching Band. I was just beginning to notice significant hearing loss with my hearing aids 7 years ago. I was also 15 lbs lighter and a little crazy at times:. It was a delicious burger. Bob Sanders and Dallas Clark ruined our day in Iowa City. I consumed ...

MyCI Journey: Connecting Me to You

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2012/06/communication-is-incredible-tool.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Connecting Me to You. Communication is an incredible tool. Language. Being one such means. A way to take what begins as a thought or a feeling and then convey it in a meaningful way to another person. I can spend hours thinking about how to vocally express my thoughts. and still get it wrong. So think for a second what life would be like without spoken language. Yes, Jordan and I were watching mortal combat the movie. I've even had fri...

MyCI Journey: August 2011

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Saturday, August 13, 2011. Yesterday was my 3 month "mapping" for my Left CI combined with the 7 month mapping for my Right CI (normally it would be at 6months, but I waited a month to do them in one appointment). And decrease the levels of those particular electrodes which completely. Eliminated the problem while giving me more volume. Both CIs now have a program for " Everyday. Listening, which I use in most situations. Another one for " Focus. I noticed a di...

MyCI Journey: Cat Calls

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2012/05/cat-calls.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Is a good thing to embrace. Today I'm coming clean: I'm a cat lover. Whoa whoa.don't get me wrong. I don't love YOUR cats. I love mine. I've mostly always considered myself tolerable of cats, but ever since these two guys showed up on the scene 7 years ago, I've had to re-think my feline-allegiance:. Yes, I had hair. Sonny is the gold one, Rex is the cow. How's this tie into hearing? And cats with a bad name everywhere. 9 They love a qui...

MyCI Journey: November 2011

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. What I'm Thankful For. Earlier today I caught this. Story about Dr. Mike Hirshorn, former CEO of Cochlear. Losing his battle with cancer last Friday. A man who fought to bring a new technology to the general public and played a huge role in enabling thousands of individuals across the world to experience hearing, some for the 1st time. A man who, prior to this morning, I had never heard of. And that got me thinking. But of all the in...

MyCI Journey: February 2012

http://awisemanci.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

At 28 I had gone deaf. CIs changed my life. Monday, February 20, 2012. This past weekend I attended a concert my brother. Was playing in as a member of the Purdue Wind Ensemble. It was the third time I've been to one of these since transitioning to Cochlear Implants a little over a year ago. The tough part to accept is the drastic difference in my perception of music from before CIs. The interesting part is what the absence. Of definition is teaching me about music. Maybe you can see why this song in par...
