I WILL HEAR:)
I went to see if it was possible to get my hearing back on wed after being deaf for 5 years:)OH YAH!!! Current mood: excited Category: Life Well you guys this is how the day went down,,and don't cheat and go to the pics :) I left here late,, but got to LA in time to see my buddy Nate for a bit,his daughter was still in ICU and she got out to a reg room latter,,Nate is my best nf2 buddy:) this is him and us at the hospital . Now I go across the street and HEI is the best at what they do,,hearing institute,, and so they put this in the lobby last week,,makes it easy to explain to my son what they were going to do,, but still funny to him:). SO we go into one of the rooms with the assistant and she explains the test to me AGAIN and says that I may not get a reaction from the test,,OK I understand and will try not to be disappointed if it doesn't happen,,so THEN she get the doctor and they numb the one side of my eardrum but tell me its going to hurt if the nerve is intact because they cant numb that side,,they strap me down,,and put all these things over your ear and around your head,I said ya this I saw on 20/20 and your setting me up,,they laugh,,I told my brother they just are going to stick that needle in and give me a lobotomy,,they laugh,,NOT FUNNY,,well kinda haha,, so the poke a hole through the eardrum and throw in a needle and it then sends out an electrical impulse of sound,,GUESS WHAT!! YA! I heard it right off,, yup:) and it was amazing,,a pulsating sound,,and then I said yup I hear it,, and my brother and son were amazed,,and the doctor came around and was SHOCKED,,he said you hear that? I said yes,,and then the doc told her turn it off and see if she notices,, it may be her imagination,,and she did,,I said you just turned it off,,and they looked dumbfounded,, :) and so then the doctor went behind me and they turned it back on and I said you turned it back on,,the doctor said she DOES hear it and her nerve is completly intact,,crazy since I have an intact nerve BUT CANT HEAR,,shit,,so they made it louder and said does it hurt? i said nope you just turned it louder,you could see how excited my doctor was,,and SHOCKED:) so then he got my chart and said you don't have any new tumors in the head for the last few years and that tumor is gone right,,I said yup,so we need to wait and get approval for new MRI's and a cat scan so I can make sure I don't have a new tumor in there and can show the insurance I can get this implant and it WILL work,,I have a backup in case they try to deny me,there is an association that helps people that have the nerve there and are candidates for the implant with insurance issues,,they MAKE your insurance help you:) Its going to happen,,I just have to make sure there is no new tumors,,I don't think so ,,I haven't in years:) but It was amazing. I then went to meet Dan the man:) We hung out and talked with me and my brother and son,,so today was a GREAT DAY!! Thanks for all the well wishes,,they really meant alot to me and I know its GONNA HAPPEN!!!! Hugs I love you all!!:)

woofwoof - > I WILL HEAR:) -> BURN THE WITCH SHOW:)
BURN THE WITCH SHOW:)
I went to the Burn the Witch show on Saturday. I LOVE The show. It is an ALL WOMEN show. All the art done there is ALL WOMEN. I have to say I am so biased:) Many of the artists are my friends. So I get there and its VERY CROWED. There is so many people. There was more people THIS year then last year. And the art I think was just as amazing. I know that people are going to come again this Saturday. Its from  5-7 pm this Saturday the 20th.
I say lets make this a field trip:)

After Burn The Witch on 10/20, come to 'The Chamber'! It's going to be Bakotopia night there. We're going to have a booth, DJ, and passing out the 'Halloween' edition of Bakotopia Magazine with Lysa Luna on the cover! Oh yeaaaahhhhhh!!! The haunted funhouse is located in the Sam Lynn Ballpark parking lot!

OH but Norma:) You know I was stuck in the I-5 aftermath of trying to get HOME from Simi Valley on Saturday. I had got stuck in over an hour and a half bumper to bumper bull poop of traffic. THEN had to come home through MOJAVE. I thought I was going to miss the whole show. WHEW. Thank god I had my map because I never went on the 14 north before. BUT NOBODY Was going to keep me AWAY from BURN THE WITCH:)
