I cannot believe tomorrow is September. The time has *flown* this past month and a half since my surgery.
I officially started back at work yesterday full time, despite the fact that I was working through my vacation :) And it has been somewhat tiring, but encouraging at the same time. I've had interpreters reserved this week for work, but I'm finding more and more that I do not need them for the most part, and am functioning much like I was before I had the surgery and was wearing hearing aids. So that's good news in terms of more work/paperwork/reservation/people in a home.
I'ms tarting to actually recognize the songs even faster when they come on in the car, as long as they are from the list on my ipod (approximately 160 songs), so I consider that a good sign. I'm also finding that I'ms tarting to tell the difference between vowels and can recognize a couple of them sometimes. I'm also recognizing words, common words, that are used in my home. Still takes some work though.
The biggest thing I've been noticing since I've been at work this week. The adults sound like they have colds still, but children are just an entirely different sound pitch/level. They sound much higher, and louder, than adults.
Outside of that, nothing else has really changed. I'm now on volume 7 on program 2, so within the next two or three days, I'll be on program 3. I am now about to go practice listening using my rehabilitation CD, and hope I don't fall asleep doing it from exhaustion! :)
