How our Story's Change

September 30, 2009
posted by  SharonC Cochlear Volunteer- Ambassador


I had the opportunity last night to attend the meeting held in Ft. Worth.  Paula as always was great and informative.  Got to meet Rene and Colleen also what a privilage to be able to attend that meeting.  Paula asked me to share my story.  It wasn't until I got up there to talk that I realize how fully our stories change from day to day some days for us are very emotional.  But if each one of us look back and remember when,  we have all come a long ways.  And I know the Cochlear Community has helped me so much I have had so many special people to talk to and so many prayers gone up for me and my family.  I just know the same is true for a lot of you.  Please be sure and share it.  This is so important for all of us as we have become close knit.  YOU ALL ARE THE GREATEST  thank you, thankyou for being my friends.

You have been through so much and it's obvious why you are still around, Sharon. God has a lot of people that he wants to share with you. You're incredible and I am so happy that your hearing and speech are going so well. I was sorry that we didn't have a chance to visit. Being late is one of my very top pet peeves for myself, I will surprise you one day and actually be eary to help set up! Luv you!

When I lost a great deal of my hearing-my friends got me through that time. I feel strongly that the ci community is a tight knit group who want to help each person travel as smooth as possible on this hearing journey and over and over they extend their hands and hearts to support others.

Sharon, I just now had the opportunity to read your profile and blogs. I was almost in tears. You are such an inspiration. Your ability to meet such personal challenges with the help of your faith is a testament to an incredible individual. I'm humbled to be your friend in this wonderful community. Ellen

I totally agree with you, Sharon, and everyone else that has made comments on your blog. It's a blessing to have so many friends within the Cochlear community that understands what we are going through, the mountains and the valleys. Thank you for sharing your stories, Carla :-D

Yes, Sharon, we have all come a long way and most of us still have a ways to go. Sure there are ups and down days, but I feel like there are more up ones than down.It will be 1 yr next wk that I was activated. I look back on all the sounds I have heard for the first time and there is usually something still new each day.2 things that are on my mind now are, our sink in bathroom has been making a chugging noise when water drains out, storm door outside kitchen door has been making a squaeking noise when it is opened or closed. I have just noticed & heard these for past couple wks. Sure it has been going on for sometime.(hubby hadn't let me know) But guess you know he has some handy man jobs to do. I don't like for anything to not work perfectly, but it made me happy that I could hear the noise from door & sink.The community has been a great help for everyone and you are right at the top, lifting everyone up when needed.Thank you, Sharon
