Today I started wearing both hearing aid and coclear implant.

I am on the brink of tears.

I am so happy.

It's like seeing a lost sibling you haven't seen in a long while.

When I put my hearing aid on in my left air this morning and heard my kids voices and then Ivy singing, it pierced me. Waves of remembrance went through me as my body seemed to say... oh yes, this is how we used to hear for 30 years.

But now it is even better WITH the implant.

I am kind of at a loss for words right now as I just want to go experience this but thought I'd get rejoice by getting the word out.

Besides, I got to take Ivy to school!

More later on this next chapter in my journey.

Love,

P.J.
