My Eighth Week
I had an adventure on my vacation
with my new hearing! I rode in Glenda's convertible car,
all the way to South Padre Island. It did not bother my headpiece mic,
I was relieved it did not take off in the wind and fly away.
I had brought a hat just in case. ha I enjoyed hearing
everything, like the moving air and my hair, the trucks
passing and being noisy, and their braking tires. I heard
rough roads and many, many things! It was endless. I called
my mom by long distance and she said wow, so I repeated it,
she understood me. I heard the ocean waves, they had a
very soft sound. I heard seagulls and kids playing... my
friends and I shopped one day down in Mexico. I could not
understand the people speaking spanish.... I could use
simple signs with them. I walked on the beach and took my
processor so I could hear, but when I wanted to swim in the
ocean, I took it up to the condo, so it would not
accidentally get sand in it or wet. On Friday night the Island had
fireworks and I was surprised to hear them! I could hear
loud booms and bangs during the show. It was a good vacation.
