Hi,

Well, my counselor-teacher and her driver-assistant came by my
house the other day and gave me my official talking clock heheheheh
and the official talking clock, calendar, calculator.

Yep, I can see where a blink could get really obnoxious with a
talking watch or using the calculator to track time in a classroom
or theatre! Although, I still say that is only being rude! But,
since I am using a Braille watch anyway, no matter.

But, what figures is, I was learning my way around the calculator
and the power dropped out a couple of times and then after
resetting it a few times, it finally died completely! Just when I
was having fun with it! So, I called her at rehab today and left a
message letting her know the calculator she gave me don't work. (I
figured if I waited too long they would just think I broke it!)
heheheheh

They were all excited to find that I have medical now so that they
can play the "Who is going to play for Vixens hearing aids" game!

By the way, I found out that even though medi-cal will usually only
pay for one hearing aid, they will pay for two for blind persons.
For me, it looks like rehab is going to make medi-cal (like
medicaid) pay for my aid and they pay for my FM system. Don't ya'
love it?

Keepin' the faith!
