I used to say, "What?" all the time, but my Dad finally corrected me to say, "Excuse me?" many years ago. I almost always sit on the right side of people so that I can hear them when they talk to me. You might remember the night we went and saw Aladdin at the high school. You showed up later than I did and sat on my left; thus, I was able to talk to you. Justin sat on my right, and we didn't talk much. As easy as it is to think I'm selective in my conversation partners or creepy, I simply couldn't hear Justin. But, really, I've had this my whole life, so they really aren't adjustments... just normal behaviors for me. And, thanks a bunch Mike and Christine. :) Kim, in terms of adjustments, I ask people to repeat themselves a lot.

You did all too good a job of concealing this! God bless, I hope the surgery is a real success! Whoa, I’m shocked! You did all too good a job of concealing this!

I had a scare a few years back that mine might tear, actually. if you don't mind me asking--besides the earplugs thing, what adjustments did you have to make in terms of everyday life? good luck with the surgery!
