Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm so happy you had a successful day!! Enjoy listening to sounds...for me it was the first time I turned on the light switch. It sounded like a shotgun had gone off next to my ear! Boy was that loud. Now it isn't even noticeable! Yes, Gerald, the best is yet to come. I look forward to hearing about YOUR CI moments!!
