I so wish I could give this update thing to you Clive. I just think we may have been born 20-30 years too early for the implant tech that’s to come. It’s a silent invisible loss with huge consequences that normies don’t understand but maybe remember other folk around you are lucky in so many other ways ie to have you around so yer u win some you lose some. IMO if you can ride a two wheeler you’ve won

Mr Slowly told me I looked like vid of a baby hearing noise for the first time and I did exactly the same jaw drop n disbelief as all of those people. You can’t quite comprehend what you’re hearing, there’s a noise and you have to attach it to what the rest of your brain knows/understands. Feels totally crazy. So nice.

Ah ya bastid, I thought I was done crying cos I’m not a cryer! Yep all of that. Can’t describe it. It’s insane.

Nope...

Nope I keep forgetting I can hear now and keep watching stuff with the volume off Just had a weird moment sitting at the kitchen table thinking the dishwasher was making a terrible noise and must be about to explode and leak everywhere, I turned to look at it and the door was open so it wasn't the cause of the terrible glugging pump noises.. it was the boiler which is in another room Totally freaked out by how noisy my house is, that catering freezer in the garage sounds like it's about to take off!

Meaning you currently trust him?

It would never get said the other way round dino.

Don't get it? Whats a top fan?

Glad you had nice weather. I saw the sun briefly this afternoon, novel

Me? Noooo

Likely but they're often the ones I end up good friends with later.

Well you'd know

A bit of celebrating went on last night with lots of music so this morning was not the morning to be starting an upholstery course and wielding a pneumatic staple gun for the first time, feck knows how I managed not to staple myself or anyone else The tutor has a sour face and a sharp tongue. My bench partner was having trouble using a tensioning tool and the tutor couldn't get her to understand what she needed to do. After multiple attempts I suggested anchoring the webbing the other way then there would be more room to use the tensioner. The tutor looked me up and down and nodded saying hmm quickly followed by "nobody likes a smart arse" They were her first words to me Eventually the tutor told her to do what I'd suggested, I said "thats a good idea, I wish I'd thought of that." She looked like she was going to hit me but then thought better of it, a little smile crept into the corners of her hard face I like her, she is bright and sarcastic, I suspect a lot of fun ahead.

Vulcan, he was from VULCAN urgh where have the proper geeks gone?

Just the thing that stood out with a shudder.

The dark ages called they said could you return the time machine?

Thanks Clive I haven't quite got my head around it yet. I'm having a laugh relearning some sounds. This morning I turned the tap on and opened the glass cupboard at the same time. The water falling into the sink which I haven't heard for 14+ years sounded like a crashing noise, I jumped backwards because I thought the glasses must be falling out of the cupboard and smashing

Bit late for a personality transplant at this late stage

I love those, what are they?

So cool. So there’s no bit where you have to drop the seed to a colder temp for a prolonged time before planting?

I was only wondering about that today

Oh that’s always been highly recognisable

This feels more like a miracle than a result. I have new hearing aids and I can fucking hear!!!!! Mr Slowly started talking to me as we went through some doors and usually if someone’s behind me I can’t hear what they’re saying, maybe a muffled noise but no actual words. I hadn’t realised I heard all of it when I replied and he said you just heard what I said even though you couldn’t see my face. He then suggested I connected them to my phone and put some music on. I love music. Going deaf and not being able to hear music has been most painful so I was reluctant to spoil such a win by highlighting a loss. Curiosity got the better of me and I played a tune with a prolonged percussion section that contains cymbals, hi-hat cowbells etc all mixed in. I haven’t heard a cymbal for about 10 years but I could hear it all. Every instrument was distinct, the clarity is fantastic, I cried for so long my head started to hurt. I can’t believe it. I know it’s temporary and eventually I’ll get deafer but right now I feel so happy I could cry. Oh look at that I am
