Greg,
Thanks for the tips, I hit a wall today energywise for the first time and just laid down n the couch and slipped int a gd nap (My O key is sticking). It only affects my taste of water. I called transear today to get some info and they will send a fitting kit to my ent to look into this option, I hear (read) good things about it as my SSD also on left like yours is tough to get used to and in my businesss I don't know how I can do without the hearing though I have been functinally deaf fr mnths. Met a guy in my neurosurgeons ffice and saw that he had an MRI that said Gadlinium contrast on the side of the folder and he had a scared look on his face, I went over to him and just said t him that the doctors here were tp notch and he said he had a 3 cm acoustic neuroma and I told him turning my head t show my scar that I had a half cm smaller one three weeks ago. I talked t him for about 10 minutes and then gave him my business card and told him to call me, I think that he was relieved to see a living breathing survivor. I know that when ANA gave me a list I called smeone on it and felt much better so I just wanted to keep up the goodwill, plus I was him such a short time ago, physically and emotionally.
Cheers and thanks ofr the post,
Srry abut the o's
