Well, I don’t know what you mean by “everything” but all that happened is you were informed that your board directive was not followed. If you don’t want paranoia in your life, don’t tell people what to do with information you post on a public message board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hello April, my name is Gilad and I'm a 22-year-old hard of hearing student. I was born with a hearing problem due to maternal rubella (biological mother, not my mom...). I have also been considering the CI surgery ever since I returned from a conference in the United States last September. I finally decided to do it a month ago and was approved just last week. I'm hoping to do it in April. I welcome you warmly into the group and will be praying for your success in the surgery as well. I hope it will be a wonderful gift for you for the new year 2006, so best wishes and many God's blessings for the surgery. Take a good care of yourself and have a speedy recovery. Sincerely yours, Gilad eve5hear <eve5hear@...> wrote: HI April, Welcome to the group. I am a little behind in reading the messages but saw yours and wanted to welcome you too. Wow you have been able to go through the process of getting a CI quickly and this week will be your surgery. I made a note of it on my calendar to pray for you and will look forward to your post on the website to read how everything goes. I am told by everyone that the surgery itself is routine and simple and many go home from the hospital the same day of surgery. I am waiting to have CI surgery but it is taking me longer to get a surgery date than what you have experienced. Hopefully next month I will have one. This group has provided so many suggestions to use while you are recovering from surgery and they all seem to say to relax and take care of yourself. My very best to you April.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi, April, Not that it's any consolation, but, yes, what you are experiencing with your CI is normal. As time goes on, your brain will be able to tolerate more sound. That is what this early period is all about. If you turn the volume up incrementally, your brain will adjust to it gradually. Also, " playing around " with the sensitivity (low numbers for hearing people close to you, higher numbers for those standing further away, in the Freedom, anyway) will make the sound seem louder or softer, too. Many have experienced feeling as though the sound is inside their head. Only be concerned if you start answering the voices and nobody else is around. <giggling> I was implanted in my worst ear and it is now my better ear, so don't let anyone tell you it doesn't work as well in what was your worst ear. Good luck! ) Jackie Implanted - right ear - Oct.2002 - Nucleus 24/3G Reimplanted - right ear - Jan.2005 - Nucleus 24C/3G Implanted - left ear - Sept.2005 - Nucleus-Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 This sounds like the herb for me - especially today :-) Grow-your-own Viagra craze hits Britain's garden centres By Randall Published: 01 April 2008 A chance discovery by a Berkshire allotment- holder that a plant widely available in garden centres has the same effect on men as Viagra has been confirmed by experts at one of the world's leading botanical institutions. The plant is winter-flowering heather, and botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, many of them heather experts who have recognised the source of its active ingredient, now expect it to be the next must-have plant in British gardens. Demand is already high. Nurseries and garden centres in some areas are having trouble finding sufficient supplies as word spreads of the plant's unexpected properties. A spokesman for Wyevale Garden Centres, which has 106 UK branches, said: " At first, it was just a trickle of inquiries, but now stores are virtually being besieged each weekend. We have had men buying dozens of the plants and, at one store in Croydon, there were men old enough to know better fighting over the last remaining trays. " The latest gardening craze was triggered by a discovery by a 55-year- old furniture restorer, Ford, on his allotment. He was always experimenting with drinks made from different plants and one day he tried an infusion from his winter-flowering heather. He said: " The effect was almost immediate. I had to stay in my potting shed for an hour or so before I could decently walk down the street. " He then contacted the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, famous for their work with the heather family, to see if they could offer an explanation. They could. Botanist Alan Bennell said: " This first surfaced when East European chemists reported finding a Viagra-type chemical in the floral tissues of winter-flowering heaths. They were able to isolate measurable amounts of material that is an analogue of the active principle in Viagra. " Winter-flowering heather, he explained, belongs to the genus a, a close relative of our own native heather. He said: " As yet, the active ingredient has not been found in these British forms, but it is proving to be most concentrated in many of the widely available hybrids sold as winter-flowering heather in garden centres. Particularly potent are forms of a carnea, the Alpine heather, whose range extends into the Balkans. " The work of these biochemists and physiologists - much of it disrupted and lost during the ravages of war - is now coming to light. " From the limited amount of information available, it is suggested the Viagra-analogue is best extracted by steeping the detached small flowers in neat alcohol. An infusion of about 20g of flowers in 100ml of fluid liberates the active principle. A quality full-strength vodka (at least 40 per cent) is also effective. Mr Bennell added: " There is some confusion whether oral consumption or topical application is more effective. " But not everyone is happy about this new discovery. One woman shopping at a Wyvales in Dorking yesterday said: " It's amazing. My husband has never shown any interest in gardening before, but now he's out there night and day fussing over his heathers. ly, I preferred it when he left the garden to me and wasn't so frisky.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Oh...I am QUITE careful...and I believe my words were quite light compared to what I was thinking.... This gentleman needs to learn how to get across what he's thinking in a polite manner...also always with the thought that they misunderstand...you NEVER verbally attack someone like that if you are not positive that there could be a misunderstanding...but this guy just jumpedthe gun and lashed out. Maybe he will think first the next time... --- Babbitt ________________________________ From: " rinninwind@...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Oh Tracey, I sooooo agree with you! For someone to write " Are you simple or something? " I felt my blood preasure rise in a New York min, I am an empathetic person and couldn't believe how stunned I was at those words.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Lashed out? All I did was question how you seemed to be confused about what the FDA was and how there was no corliation with Europe. You were the one that went off the handle.
