What bwings us togevver today.*

Little to report on the CI front, although I have an appointment scheduled for Thursday morning. Today, in a meeting, my office manager observed that I am hearing "so much better." I wasn't sure how to take that. On the one hand, Yay! I'm hearing so much better! On the other, we were sitting near one another, in an office, with one other person, and I don't recall having trouble hearing in that type of setting pre-surgery. So, grain of salt, and all that.

So, am I hearing so much better? Yeah, I think so. I'm definitely hearing things like announcements, the television, and quiet conversation better. I think I'm hearing better in loud situations, too, as long as I adjust my sensitivity setting. And, now that I think about it, I was able to hear 90% of the (UNBELIEVABLY LONG) ceremony at the wedding we attended on Saturday, despite being outside, with the wind blowing, and having a seat all the way in the back. That's pretty damn good!

Speaking of the wedding, this was the first one Steve and I have attended since ours. We had a great time - it was a casual event in a beautiful mountain park, full of games and beer and happiness for a truly wonderful couple. And we both felt like it was "more meaningful," or something, with our own wedding still relatively fresh in our minds. During the ceremony, Steve was standing near the front, taking pictures. But mid-way through (mid-way being about 40 minutes in - did I mention that it was loooooong?), he came back to where I was sitting and held my hand for the rest of it. We both got a little teary when the couple said their vows (at least the first time, and even a bit the second. By the third round of vows, we were just hungry). Awwww......

*Also, among the songs the couple used during the processional was the theme from The Princess Bride, one of my all-time favorite movies.
