My wife flew to Houston yesterday for a week. She and the twin 19 month old granddaughters are going trick-or-treating next week. Seems like a long way to go for a bag of candy to me.
When they install a cochlear implant, they insert a cable into the cochlea of the inner ear being implanted. The inner ear is involved in providing feedback for balance and equilibrium. Since I had my surgery, I stagger a bit when I walk. I am sure it will eventually get better but......
I sure hope the neighbors didn't think I was drunk when I took the garbage out to the street this morning at 0730...or when I go work in the yard in a few minutes.......
I can hear the conversation:
"Would you look at that Martha? His wife's gone again....it's 7:30 and the old fool is drunk and staggering around outside again. Wouldn't be so bad if he'd keep it in the house but going out in public......Do you think we ought to notifiy his oldest son the deputy sheriff? It's a shame to see the father of a public figure out in public staggering, walking in a curved line like that..........."
