Kay, I warned the group leader (Priscilla) that you'll be joining us soon.

For those that missed the meeting, you missed a great one. I got to see a BAHA BP100 up close, a gold eye weight, CROS hearing aids, etc. I got to meet Cherry Piper from the forum. He and I both reinforced the amount of good, non-judgemental information there here on the forum. I think it's the best ANA meeting I've been to thus far.

Regards,

Brian

Not me!  There just aren't that many Priscillas in this world, and how funny that one turned up here!  I haven't met this wonderful person yet. I was barely back in town after taking my 4/5 graders to Austin for our bi-annual visit for 3 days.  Great trip, but it took me most of Sat. get around to doing anything.  I am retiring at just the right time, I think.  I used to recover from these trips a lot faster in the old days. :D

Diagnosed  left AN 8/07/08, 1.9 CM
