JAN and LORI!!!

[Jeepers]

Youse guys are THE BEST!! 

I received my BAHA Recovery Kit today ... and I can't stop smiling! What a great idea and such a kind and generous effort on your parts.

I especially love the CLAPPER and will bring it with me to celebrate after the deed is done!

As a sidenote ...
I don't get around to posting as often as many, but I would just like to say thanks to all the folks who lend many valuable hours here to answer questions, share experiences and genuinely care about both the physical and emotional wellbeing of those who seek out help.

As I extend hugs to you all, Jan and Lori are at the top of the list of "special" people in this forum as they actively look out for so many who come their way.

YOU'RE THE BEST!!

Oh, phew!!!!

I saw "Jan and Lori" in bold print and thought we were in trouble....again....   

Good luck and I hope the countdown to "Gotcha Day" goes quickly!!

And you like the clapper the best?  Don't tell me Jan at all the chocolate again.... 

Lori

HA!  I most certainly did NOT eat the chocolate, Lori - Jeepers got a full bag.  Although I have to admit, I was sooooo tempted - chocolate being my worse habit 

Jeepers -

that was a record delivery, I just mailed the kit yesterday.  I'm very glad you got it in time for your surgery. 

I took the liberty of putting your big date with one of my favorite docs on the AN Calendar.  One week and counting!!!  I hope you're as excited as I was 

I love making the kits; between Lori and I we've probably sent out about 25 I'm guessing.  Wendy (wendysig) was our first proud recipient and I just sent out another one today to Lauren (ombrerose4) who is having her BAHA surgery on 1/4/10.

Lori will be creating the next two kits and then we'll have to get started on that garage surgery business we never got around to establishing!   

Happy BAHA!

Best,

Jan

Small problem...Lori doesn't have a garage anymore, but we can use mine - it's a TRIPLE!!

I guess if we move the lawn mower and bikes out of the way, we can use my shed.....

[leapyrtwins]

Garage, shed, whatever.  As long as we have all the tools.

Anyone with spare drills, screw drivers, saws, etc., send them to Lori.

Hmmm, let's see I have her mailing address here somewhere   

Okay, back on topic before Phyl catches us and moves this thread to the Community

I just wanted to wish you luck with  your BAHA surgery.  It really is a piece of cake and hopefully, you will love your BAHA as much as I do.  I also  thought that as the first BAHA kits recipient, I'd throw in my two cents!  Jan and Lori's  BAHA kits are the BEST!  Cochlear sent me one also which contained useful items,  but Jan and Lori's  was definitely far superior.  Cochlear's kit contained useful items  but had no chocolate or fun stuff. 

Jan and Lori,

You two are great for doing this for our fellow BAHA wearing members.

Jan and Lori, you guys really are amazing. The BAHA kit is wonderful. Alan, (my soon to be hubby) and I were so touched. Everything in it is so practical, especially the chocolate!. Honestly, Alan and I are so impressed with this forum- the support it gives, the advice it offers and the great humor of everyone on it. I imagine you guys are paying for this out of your own pockets, and if so I would love to donate something to the cause. Please let me know. I think Cochlear should know how supportive you are of the BAHA- maybe you'll get future discounts from them! Again, thank you so much, Lauren

Awww, Wendy & Lauren, you're making me blush    You guys are so sweet 

Lauren -

I can't speak for Lori, but I could never accept money for the kits - it's something I get a huge kick out of sending to people; kind of like spreading BAHA cheer    And in light of that, the monetary cost is very minimal. 

I still remember how scary it was being diagnosed with an AN and how frustrated I was being SSD prior to getting my BAHA, so if I can send someone chocolate and a few inexpensive items and make their day - that's good enough for me.

Ditto what Jan said!  It's just fun to put a smile on someone's face, especially when they're stressed out over yet another surgery coming up.  Besides, the people at the party store are probably going crazy trying to figure out why I'm always in there buying such an odd array of items - and that's fun too!   

Now, if you can get Cochlear to cut me a break on an upgrade to the BP100, or maybe a discount on batteries...that would be good!   

Don't tell Jan, but when I buy the chocolate for the kit, I buy some for myself too!
