Re: What's the worse thing someone has said to you?

[Guest guest]

Luckily, I haven't had really bad experiences...except from my

parents...

They are just very nervous about his implant and hearing aid. They

were watching while I was in the hospital having and they

kept saying, I hope we can handle his stuff. Does he need to wear

it? Can't just come over in the morning?

Made me feel REAL confident about his care, you know?

Luckily they did just fine...but boy...some un-needed stress at the

time!
