Vive le technology!

My friend and priest, Liz Armstrong, was right: the "mapping" or programming of the cochlear implant processor is what makes the magic happen!

I didn't realize how significant this programming was until yesterday's re-mapping session in Oklahoma. Now that I can compare this new mapping with the older, primary one, I can truly say that progress has been made and boy, oh boy, what a leap!

I can only imagine what it will be like after a year of mapping! My next mapping will be in three months.

This is scary cool. Now I know why everybody kept saying, "just wait, peej, just wait!"

Love from Sacramento,

p.s. during the audiology testing yesterday, my sentence recognition (with cues) was 82%!
