Four years ago in a land far away .....

......... a middle aged woman went deaf.

Yep, it's my deaf birthday! Usually I celebrate with a nice meal out but this year was a non-event as my children didn't feel that having two birthdays a year was fair and they refused to participate in my celebrations. So I had left-overs for dinner and sang myself "happy deaf birthday to you" and went to bed. And that's the end of the story.

The End

Still here!

Okay, so I'm actually still alive just really neglecting my blogging. I'm sorry. 

Quick update:

The ears are good. I don't wear the second CI because it doesn't give me clear enough speech. Having said that I still intend on trying to get it working one day.

The movie unIndian in which I star (briefly ........ if they didn't cut my one scene .... 'star' might be pushing it) comes out October 15th 2015 - mark it in your calendar.

The cochlear support group that I run is going well and has lots of new members. Clearly there is a need for CI people to connect. We are half way between the Deaf community and the hearing community - sometimes identifying with others of the same deafness/hearingness is important.

Work is crazy - both jobs (lecturing and teaching), but I love what I do so I'll keep doing it deaf or not.

Still playing netball, still can't hear a thing, and still don't know what's going on but that has never stopped me before! I'm back at yoga again too - can't hear that either but it's slow enough to follow others.

My research on children with cochlear implants is going well and I hope to finish by October this year. I'll publish the results on this blog.........

............... and I promise to post more often!!!!!
