I did not wear pink.
But I did trick grace's doc into telling us how much longer we have to do this by mentioning Grace is desperate to swim.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Oh man, you guys. Can I brain dump for a moment?
I'll delete some or all of this shortly, but I need to say it to *somebody* just to get it out. Feel free to TLDR.
I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster (OF DOOOM...) and man, I just want it to stop.

Hil,
apparently she was not totally Deaf when she was born and was wearing a hearing aid at age 2.

Because books.
Oh, brenda. That's so much to deal with all at once. Deep breaths.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with Amy.
Even 20% of that is too much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, brenda, that is a lot. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Interesting. Thanks. I wonder why the doctors decided she was a good candidate for the surgery, since it seems like she was already doing really well with the hearing aids.

Ooof, Brenda, that sucks. A lot. I'd say more but my flight (that I barely made because I ha to run home to get my computer cord, and still forgot my kindle!) is about to leave. But somehow I made reservations for a hotel in Denver even though I'm going to Colorado Springs.
I'm sure by the time I log back in buffistas will have good answers for you!

Hil,
maybe she stopped doing as well? I don't know.

I found this on another page that had the video:
"My whole life I've been complimented on how well I speak. I don't really have an answer for you other than I have always had a passion for reading, grammar, and English. My hearing loss was/is considered severe to profound. I've worked very hard to be able to interact and blend in."
I'm still pretty puzzled at her being able to understand words, though. I watched a few other videos of CI activation on adults who'd been deaf since birth, and with most of them, just being able to tell the difference between when someone was talking and when no one was talking was a big thing.
