July 29 New Hearing Aides and Other HelpsI got my new hearing aides and other things i need to help me around the house. even a sight cane,1 for summer and 1 for winter. I am getting use to hearing things i never heard before. Now just to block them out so to speak like they told me so i can get back to normal. it is hard with a few things as they just bug me soooo much as I never it like I do now. that is my hubbys chair that squeaks. my old hearing aides never let me hear it. these new ones do. makes quite a difference. now i am using a sight cane because it is harder for me to see steps and a few other things that I could before that i cannot now. I have to hang onto my husband and with the sight cane I can do alot of things by myself. with the other stuff around the hound i can alot of things by myself but alot slower. I even have a glove when i cut vegetables with a knife this way I don't cut my fingers as it is a special glove. i hav especial gloves for handling hot stuff out of the oven also. color coded measuring cups and spoons. and other things that help me read from the TV. just alot of things to get use to for along while and still a few things get use to right now. but at least I am able to take care of my husband me. April 10 eyes & hearingwell, it seems that am going blind and losing my hearing in both ears as ell. for my eyes it is called a pseudotumorcerebrei. from what i have been told the tumor is there but then it isn't. my twin sister has the same thin but she was able to reverse it from regular check-ups. when one does not have insurance or anything like when working it is very hard to get regular checkups and that is me when i used to work as a grill cook. Now i am disabled and cannot do my job like I use too. It has even been very hard doing everyday normal things at home. with some other type of help i can keep on doing the normal everyday help for me and hbby. even after I do lose them I will still be able to take care of ourselves as I will not let it put me down. It is going to happen so i might as well keep going. y hearing is terrible also. w finally had to put the closed caption on the tv so i can watch it also. only way i can hear it, is by reading what they say. Now if I can oly get the migraines under control, but without money to pay for them I have been going thru some rough times. stabbing,pounding migraines that come out of no-where. suffered like this for 2 months now,until i can get all my meds turned over to generics and that mans starting all over. March 31 PainHave you just had it with pain?? I have . My back has been bothering me for the last 2 days. I wish the pain would just go away. If not me back then my knees are killing. This arthritis is just a big pain the booty. March 06 eyesight and HearingWell the lady was here today so i can get things settled her at home about my eyesight and hearing. With losing both of them at the same time it is hard to do stuff around the house and outside without help of aides for me. she is going to order me some things for around the house that may be simple for everyone else but hard for me. Things to help me write,cook better, write checks and ETC. I want to keep on doing stuff around the house and outside no matters what happens. Independence is what I am going for so i can take care of my hubby and me.Just like I did before my sight and hearing went. Hubby and I are still getting use to the changes in our lives as this is really big for us.
