Long time no see
I do admit, it's been way too long since I've blogged. I've been super busy recently - Sarah has been keeping us pretty occupied as has Maria, I've had quite a bit of travel over the past month too (and going abroad again Tuesday!) and work hasn't exactly been static recently. Coupled with this,... Read more...

Yes, I still exist!
Sorry for not posting recently. What with the baby, a busy time at work and other bits and pieces, unfortunately my blog fell by the wayside. This does not mean that I completely forgot about you, dear readers :) Sarah is a month old tomorrow. I thought I'd post about the experience I've had as a... Read more...

My girls
I'm not in the habit of using photos in my blog (as a matter of fact, I haven't got a single one) but I *had* to put this one on, as I've been asked for a photo of my two princesses - here goes - Sarah, aged 8 hours, on the left, Maria, the big sister, on the right. I love them to bits and am so... Read more...

A child is born
Something unrelated to implants but I really had to mention this. On the 10th September, at 1:38am, Sarah Louise was born. Instantly, I fell in love yet again - I loved her the minute her head popped out and said hi to the world. The amazement I felt seeing my second daughter come out is with me... Read more...

Minor processor issues
I had some problems with my processor recently. I noticed that 1) When it's pretty hot (we've had a long hot summer in Malta this year!) the volume seems to go down quite substantially. When I tried auxiliary cables the sound was fine so it was related to the microphones. When temperatures went... Read more...

Implementation
We went live with a site a week or so ago. It happened to be a public holiday, so I was not at work while the site was brought up. Like all IT implementations, this one was quite frantic - things going wrong at the last minute, small issues back and forth. Phone calls here there and everywhere.... Read more...

Sounds of joy...
My cochlear implant and I have become firm chums, but few things can be considered as more beautiful as interacting with your children. I found communicating with my daughter, Maria, very difficult before I got my implant and she was one of the main driving forces behind me obtaining my implant.... Read more...

A year on.
A year ago right now, I was sitting in my hospital bed, waiting, waiting waiting. I still remember the thoughts going through my head - the fear, the anticipation, the terror that something would go wrong, the firm conviction that I was doing the right thing. I still remember sitting listlessly... Read more...

Mobile phones
About 2 weeks ago, I went fishing with a friend. Since I didn't know where his boat is berthed, I smsed him to tell him I'd arrived (at the unearthly hour of 515am) in the meeting point we'd agreed. He didn't reply so I rang on his mobile and hung up. Shortly after that, I heard the phone ring. I... Read more...

Just when I thought I'm getting no more improvements...
I'm in Holland again and was on a bus this morning going to work. And I heard something that even 3 weeks ago was inaudible to me - the click of the indicator on the bus. This is *very* faint to the point that a hearing colleague of mine could barely hear it, it was so faint. I also picked up the... Read more...

A tip..
It might be common sense for some.. it *is* common sense now I know about it, but it's best that I explain a trick I found out last week when I visited the hospital outpatients last week. I had complained that it is fiddly to take off the speech processor, press the two buttons simultaneously,... Read more...
