My books

[Guest guest]

What a pleasant surprise it was to open my mail this morning and to read all the

nice comments about my books.Thanks to everyone!The reason for writing my first

book was to inspire others to have the CI.I wrote the 1nd book to inspire others

to never give up if they have problems with their CI.

For those who have read my 1st book you may recall that at my 40th class reunion

I was profoundly deaf.I was scheduled to have my CI implanted not long after

the reunion.When I introduced myself I told my classmates that I would be able

to hear them at the next reunion.

This past Saturday was my 50th reunion and i was able to converse easily with my

classmates.They were so happy for me and they gave me a standing ovation when I

introduced myself.

What did I do at the convention?Several classmates asked me about the CI and I

was able to encourage a couple classmates.One is a candidate but was afraid to

go ahead with surgery.After speaking with me he now is much braver.Another has

been told about the CI but he didn't think that Medicare paid for it.He is now

going to go ahead.I also was able to speak with the Grandparents whose grandson

is deaf and to encourage them to visit a CI center.

To me..this is what it is all about!
