The Ultimate Gadget/s
As I mentioned in the summary of the year 2006, my Dad had a cochlear implant that restored his hearing in his left ear, and the on December th, I had a stapedectomy to restore the hearing in my right ear. Both are technological and medical miracles in my personal opinion. I grew up with a father that needed something in his ear all my life, and even with a hearing aid, Dad could hear OK, but not well, and it got worse over the years until he could hear no more. Thank you God for inspiring the people you did to work and discover a way to make it possible for others like Dad to hear well enough to re-engage in communicating with those around him. It has been life changing for him and all of us.

2006 in Review
My last entry was in February of 2006. To say “a lot has happened since then” in my life is an understatement to be sure. While looking back at those last entries, of February, to get caught up with where I was then and what want going on then, in light of what transpired since, I will summarize the year in this post from the last entry and then in following posts, go into more details as my recollections and reflections motivates me and they will be posted in the appropriate categories. I will try to keep it chronologically accurate if I can but the purpose of this is for an overview of the year at this point.
