Guest guest Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hello Angel, when I first started losing weight I used to force myself to exercise until my body got used to it. Now it is like a natural thing. It doesn't take long for the motivation to click in although I think we all lack motivation from time to time. I guess it depends a lot on how life is treating us. If you persevere you will get there......Take care.....Leanne angelwings8675309 angelwings8675309@...> wrote:I just joined your club, and boy I hope I can get some help.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Welcome, Angel!! I'm sure most of us here have been through the losing/gaining back with interest cycle, I know I sure have! I believe we can all help each other get rid of the weight healthfully and for good. =+) Catalina > I just joined your club, and boy I hope I can get some help.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks Marni!! We are in Mineola, not far from you at all. I just signed up with Mill Neck too, I cant wait to get started. I think Grace will really thrive once she gets going. I really feel like no one else understand what we are going thru and how much work is involved. I would love to chat more off list. I'll email you shortly. Kathleen and Grace (7 months with mod/sev bilateral SN loss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi Kathleen, Welcome to the group. I usually lurk around here, but there is a lot of good information posted by the wonderful people here. My son 10 months was diagnosed at birth with a mod/sev hearing loss. We are also in Long Island, East Meadow to be exact. We get EI 2x a week for 45 min and go to Mill Neck for the Center based program from Dept of Ed. He goes there once a week for an hour and they send a teacher to the house once a week for 1 hour. got his hearing aids at about 4 months and is doing wonderful with them. Where on LI do you live? and what program are you going to? You can email me offline anytime you would like.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Welcome, Kathleen! I'm so glad you're here. I'm Barbara, mom to two boys. Tom is 14 and in 8th grade; Sam is 12 and in 6th grade. Both have a cochlear implant in the right ear and a hearing aid in the left. They both chose their right ear as their implanted ear because they're right-handed - easier to control the buttons, etc. on their processors! I just love the name Grace!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Interesting .... Ian is leaning towards having his left one done when/if the times comes because it is currently his " bad " ear. I never thought about the right-handed issue.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Our boys' ears are the same pretty much so it was their choice. We thought too about when they start driving - their implanted ear is on the right towards other people, etc. Of course by then, they both may have bilaterals!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Another thought is that the right ear is controlled the left side of the brain, where the language center is. I don't know how much stock I put into this, but I have a few friends whose kids are on developmental programs that emphasize being wholly one sided dominant.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've heard that before as well.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi Kathleen, Welcome to the group! Grace is very lucky to have you as you already know ASL and have met deaf adults. I'm deaf myself, too and got a 1 year old deaf daughter. Good luck and feel free to ask me any questions, although I'm a pretty new parent. Rita --------------------------------- Yahoo!
