HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 21, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 That's us! On Friday I had a dental appointment, and as my dentist is over an hour from my new job I didn't go to work at all - went to the dentist, had lunch with a friend, and then worked from home in the afternoon. My friend and I had a nice lunch at a Thai place across the street from my dentist's office and then popped into this shop around the corner - it's all dog stuff, treats and toys and beds and whatnot. We were buying dog treats when a woman there asked me about my CIs, and we ended up talking for almost half an hour. She was a writer, doing some stuff on contract for Cochlear Americas and just kept asking questions! And me, I talk, you know? We talked about the rehab process and what it's been like to be a CI recipient. I always like to have a chance to talk about what an amazing (but not necessarily easy) thing it is to be a CI recipient.

Daniel the Stranger Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 That's nice, I do something of sorts over here in Adelaide. My audiology Clinic schedule meetings along the year (3-4) something like that were they gather their patients and soon to be patients to different topics. I like to attend to give my part of the story and help people make decisions. I'm always the youngest one, and it feels weird seeing all these oldies surrounding me Mary Featherston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 26, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi @Daniel the Stranger! Good to see you. I'm far from the youngest when I go to the meetings like that, but yes, it's fun there too! And I'm reminded now that I have to get the dog treats to my brother's dog.....
