Bucko -

I find that my BAHA makes no difference whatsoever in my balance.  But then again, I don't have big balance issues - just small ones.

BAHA processor in 2 days!!!  Are you thrilled or what?!!!  ;D

BTW, watch out for those doorways - you don't want to knock the processor off your head!  :D  I actually did that on the frame of my car door about six hours after I got my processor  :o  Thankfully it wasn't damaged.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Those doorways will get you every time!  I can't tell you how many times I've slammed my elbow into one!  That hurts!!

I had to get up at 2am because the dog needed to go out - talk about off balance!  I'm glad only the dogs saw me!   I looked like I'd had way too much to drink!  And how comforting to know that my whole family sleeps through the sound of me crashing into doorways and walls and tripping over furniture.  I guess I'll have to make more noise next time.  Hey, if I'm up - everyone should be up!

Bucko - are you starting rumors again!  :o

BTW, just remembered Catflower gets her processor tomorrow.  Join me in wishing her well, Lori & Bucko  ;D
