He is a Physiotherapist so is very interested in that sort of stuff. <br />In fact, he had major knee surgery himself back in May and has been off his feet since. Should be off his crutches by end of this month. Great thing is that becuase he is a Physio he can sort out his own rehab!!<br />I share you excitement about your hearing aid. Must make the world of difference.<br /><br />Take good care<br /><br />Ali xAli Davieshttp://www.alidavies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-73965843297544818142010-07-31T22:49:11.537+10:002010-07-31T22:49:11.537+10:00Dear Dainere,

It is good to know what the problem is and she can focus on her repair and rehabilitation. The time will pass quickly.<br /><br />I am so happy for you that you are hearing the world around you better. At long last, very happy day for you!<br /><br />I remember Lachie got ear grommets put in when he was 3yrs old...he had terrible ear infections in his first years and had 'glue ear'. It was like switch had been thrown and he started to hear the sounds we all took for granted. <br /><br />We have one more month of Winter left! This year has been bitterly cold, so I join you in wishing for an early Spring.<br /><br />Lots of love<br />Dianne xxxxDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839192768056244573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-68026098544615088332010-07-31T17:42:12.626+10:002010-07-31T17:42:12.626+10:00Dear Dainere,
Sorry I have not written in a while ...Dear Dainere,<br />Sorry I have not written in a while but I am always thinking of you and I always read your blogs before I go to bed at night. I am glad to hear you finally got your hearing aid. I hope it helps you a lot. I can't wait to talk to you again. You probably don't realise how much you helped me through my recovery but I do and I will never forget it. You are trully a special friend and I hope to be more like you. <br /><br />I am praying for you so you don't have so much pain anymore.<br /><br />Take care and stay strong.<br /><br />Love from<br />Brianabrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820766259651291880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-242114597035441642010-07-31T08:29:45.321+10:002010-07-31T08:29:45.321+10:00Hi Dainere,
I loved hearing about your hearing ai...Hi Dainere,<br /><br />I loved hearing about your hearing aid. I have just learnt so much and I never realised that you could have coloured ones, and the stickers - people are clever aren't they. And the automatic increase in volume, I can't imagine how that works, but who cares it does!<br /><br />We are having what I fondly describe as Melbourne weather today. Considering we live in northern NSW on the coast, this gives us all a chance to think how lucky we are normally as these days are few and far between. I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years and loved it dearly, so the weather like today brings back all those memories. So off to put my boots and scarf, get that naughty Betsy puppy and take her for a walk and then coffee. Tomorrow is obedience training and I don't want to have a day like we had last Sunday when she hadn't had any training during the week and was just an excitable puppy, not paying attention and generally having a great time. Actually not a bad thing really - obviously was my problem now I am thinking.<br /><br />Then I need to go down and see Marg at our little local nursery and buy those pansies! It's perfect weather to plant them as the ground is nicely wet so I won't have to fuss over them during the week. Ah, sometimes it pays to be a slacko and not do what was planned.<br /><br />And have you discovered new sounds that you have missed since your last post? I feel it is always interesting to reflect of what other people note as important to them - it makes me notice when those same things pass my way.<br /><br />Wishing you peaceful dreams and warm sun on your face,<br /><br />Wendy. And if Betsy was there, she'd would just lick you!Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-72527388204478447282010-07-30T21:06:43.417+10:002010-07-30T21:06:43.417+10:00Dear Dainere
What wonderful news! It is absolutel...Dear Dainere<br /><br />What wonderful news! It is absolutely fantastic that your new hearing aid works so well! I'm sure it will make a lot of difference at school, too. I'm glad that it adjusts automatically because hearing aids can be "fiddly" to fix as they are quite tiny, aren't they.<br /><br />It is good news, too, that Nalani's knee can be fixed with surgery. I'm sure Rhiannon will work out a suitable program for her, too. <br /><br />I heard Carol Duncan speaking to Ash on Thursday. He said he was looking forward to talking to you at the weekend. You will be able to hear the questions really clearly :-)<br />Please tell us where we can see/hear your interview. It will be special, I'm sure.<br /><br />Yes, you are right about the rain being necessary for our dams, farms and the Earth in general. And our gardens! How are your pansies growing? Mine are a trifle water-logged at present but a warmer, drier day is predicted for tomorrow so they should recover.<br /><br />Once again, celebrating the great news of your hearing aid and wishing you all the best for a happy weekend.<br /><br />Thoughts and prayers,<br /><br />MarianneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-67403610285335720862010-07-30T17:55:23.387+10:002010-07-30T17:55:23.387+10:00Dear Dainere
We are so happy to hear that at last ...Dear Dainere<br />We are so happy to hear that at last you can hear again. You are so right, we don't appreciate what we have until we lose it. <br /><br />What sticker did you choose for your hearing aid. Perhaps we could make a guess and it would be fairies.<br /><br />It is so good that something can be done for Nalani and she will be back to normal so soon. Sitting beside the hospital bed will certainly be a novelty for you.<br /><br />We can just imagine you being cheeky and turning off your hearing aid when you don't want to listen. Many of us would like to be able to do that, particularly when someone is annoying us. <br /><br />You will be able to listen to your favourite music as well and hear your favourite TV programmes too.<br /><br />What are you knitting? Did you finish Theodore's scarf or is that what you are still doing?<br /><br />When we eventually get down that way again we will be anxious to see your beautiful fairy garden. I think we told you how pretty and colourful petunias look when in season. The Bunnings catalogue had them on special today.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend hearing all those sounds you had trouble with.<br /><br />Love you <br />Nan and Pop xxx oooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
