HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 3, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hello Hear Peers friends, I just want to take a moment to thank you all for teaching me the benefits of social media. I had never participated in any kind of forum or FaceBook group prior to getting my CIs. Now I see the benefit that social media offers when you are fortunate to find great forums or groups. I have learned so much from everyone in the past year and have appreciated everyone's support. It's great to have a place to go to ask questions and to share WOW moments. I particularly like the international experience in the groups. So thank you all. I am very grateful.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted February 3, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Marybeth You are a blessing to this community. So glad you found us. I believe you are right as far as social media. It is much easier these days to gather information about the whole process of getting an implant.

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted February 4, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I also want to tell you, Mary Beth, that I am impressed with your knowledge and dedication, and how tactful you are with others who are looking for answers. We are lucky to have you with us. Thank you. Cara - I want copyrights at your texts... And to Mary Beth, I bold the dedication and systematic dealing with possible solutions. I can only imagine what level of persistence is this. Regarding your words, I can share my first experience when I have found someone like me at the internet. It was a while ago, but I can even now remember how much it meant to me to read about other's solutions - this opened to me a whole new world. I was like Alice in the Wonderland. I still am - but after I understood what I have accomplished with that approach I started to understand the value of sharing by trying to help someone else. I will also never forget how Sandy, Adam, Matt, Liza comforted me before my surgery - even I am doc, at first place I am human being with all my fears. Partially as a guinea pig (because I didn't have much too loose) because I was 2nd patient with my diagnosis to whom was intended to do this implantation. On the other side, I was fear of failure and what others expected. This was actually bigger issue than will I actually hear well with BB (for me). When I woke up in the ICU you can imagine how this elevated my pink cloud.... But - happy end did happen and I have enriched my life in the unbelievable direction: continued to meet people who might never cross my path in other reality, have visited many interested congresses and courses where I could infected myself with totally new directions of my life: neuroplasticity, psychoacoustics, cochlear implants ... And Mary Beth - thank you for tiny Croatian detail at your Christmas tree.
