@bdzwahlen Beverly, I believe that patients have a lot of power over their own healing and recovery. Neither one of us chose our destiny with our health, but we chose to embrace the challenge of the journey and share out earned knowledge and to reach for our best possible outcome. I surprised myself and was profoundly changed by my experience. I'm excited for you. The brain training phase sounds very interesting and you'll learn things about how that works that most of us don't know. I have learned a lot while advocating for my elderly parents with their medical issues and hospitalizations. I can see how much more difficult that would be for a person with a hearing disability. More power to you, Beverly!
