Today was weird. I was having a fine old day until all of a sudden I ran into a wall with my hearing. Comprehension decreased by so much that I could only get by with heavy lipreading.
Sudden changes in hearing are distressing. It brought me back emotionally to the dark times. Except this time I'm not in the silence alone. I called out to my mom, my sister, to my friends, to my church and choir. I'm in this together with everyone I know and it's time to stop trying to do everything on my own.
