Evening all
Hope you had a less nibbly night MT
Doc hope you feeling better today after your mr T ordeal
Hubby just back with moggy from vets she has been on tablets for a week but still not eating and has lost even more weightshe isn't looking happy now. They have given her steroid jab which should take effect tomorrow but they want to see her again Saturday if no change and we may have to make the big decision. The lump in her tummy has gotten bigger but at her age I don't think would be fair to do op as chances of her waking would be low
. and it's getting me teary already but can't bear to see her wasting away

No time right now to read posts, sorry peeps, will really try and see what you have all been up to tomorrow.....thanks for text Blue and thanks for email Doc.....
Been a very long day....grandkids did really well and worked really hard testing implants....granddaughter could recognise different pitch within a few minutes, grandson said it was weird vibrations and a feeling of sound of some sort....basically just white noise, but knew when we were speaking, although it was just a noise nothing like what we hear, now they have to just use the one implant and read out loud to themselves or watch something on the TV with subtitles and train their brain to make that noise equal whatever word they say or read on the screen,like when you are teaching your children to read and you put a sign on the table that says 'Table' but they already know it says table , but now have to say it out loud and hear what TABLE sounds like....they have to be careful when wearing both implants that the new one does it's equal share of the work in sending messages to the brain....it is so complex, they have both got to go again tomorrow, and then next week and the every month for the rest of the year, depends how they get on with them now....could take 1 year could take 5 yrs.....phew!!! they were then given all the kit that comes with them in a case ( the size of a carry on bag), spare batteries,they will use 6 a day each, rechargeable batteries and chargers, a box they have to keep them in that is powered to dry them overnight, as they get a lot of moisture in them, all sorts of spare bits and pieces, a remote control to save them having to take them on and off to adjust various aspects and of the sound levels, screwdrivers and ear pieces and magnets that hold them in place on their heads....and small earphones that connect to the behind the earpiece no so they can listen to music....each bag was worth around £5000....the implants were £20,000 each and the ops cost a whole lot more....if you want to know where your taxes are going , my grandkids ,in their lifetime have had around £200,000 worth of it...thank you so much!!!
Early night for me, am exhausted.0
